Thank you to Daryl McKinnon, who had 2 suggestions. I plan to work on this next week. The suggestions are as follows: Option 1: Use the following steps to make a copy of the NIS+ files before the upgrade (I would suggest single user mode): # tar cf /nis_save.tar /var/nis /etc/.rootkey /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/defaultdomain Then after the upgrade, again in single user mode, untar the files. You should be ok (I've done this a few times). Of course I'd make a backup of the entire system just in case anything else went wrong. Option 2: You could also make a standard NIS+ client, make it a replica server and promote it to a master. You would have to downgradee the original master to a normal client. Then upgrade the OS on the old master, and point to the new server for NIS+ services. Once the upgrade is done, you can promote it back to being a master server.
