To add a slave server to an existing NIS domain do the following:
1. become root on master
2. cd /var/yp/`domainname`
3. /usr/etc/yp/makedbm -u ypservers > /tmp/tempfile
4. vi /tmp/tempfile
Add the new slave servers name on a new line twice in a row on the same line, i.e., slave1 slave1.
5. /usr/etc/yp/makedbm /tmp/tempfile ypservers
6. Go to slave and run ypinit -s.

I have started unixadminschool.com ( aka gurkulindia.com) in 2009 as my own personal reference blog, and later sometime i have realized that my leanings might be helpful for other unixadmins if I manage my knowledge-base in more user friendly format.
