    Dear List

    I have installed NIS on a Redhat 9 machine. I have followed the instruction
    to create a NIS map for passwd. The problem is that when I issue the
    command:

            ypcat passwd

    I get nothing. I have five users in the file /var/yp/passwd that are not
    the same users that are in my /etc/passwd. Can anyone point me in the right
    direction to resolve this.

    I was expecting to see the five users when I issue the command ypcat passwd.

    Thanks

    Gordon
