Sorry I was not so clear as to what OS's I had.
Sun (clients), 4.1.3U1
HP (server), 9.01 HPUX (720)
The HP is the (only) server and is running DNS and NIS
I called up HP and the anwer is:
Load these two patches on your HP server:
PHNE_5992 and PHCO_6191
Plus, add this mod to your /usr/etc/yp/ypmake script
the ypmake script must be modified to allow
the NIS server to use DNS after the patches have been installed.
I have provided an example below:
# Add the "-b" as shown on the two lines marked "<<<<<<"
hosts() {
if [ "$LONG_FILENAMES" = "TRUE" ]; then
MAPNAME1=hosts.byaddr
MAPNAME2=hosts.byname
else
MAPNAME1=hosts.byad
MAPNAME2=hosts.byna
fi
$NIS_DIR/stdhosts $1 | \
awk 'BEGIN { OFS="\t"; } $1 !~ /^#/ { print $1, $0 }' | \
$MAKEDBM -b - $MAPDIR/$MAPNAME1 <<<<<<<<
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then return 1; fi
sed -e "/^#/d" -e s/#.*$// $1 | $NIS_DIR/stdhosts | \
awk '{ for (i = 2; i <= NF; i++) print $i, $0 }' | \
$MAKEDBM -b -l - $MAPDIR/$MAPNAME2 <<<<<<<<
}
And that's it.
Thanks to all for all of your suggestions.
