NIS+ Lookup Problems


Q: Why do I get inconsistant results when I do certain NIS+ lookups?

A: In NIS+, the server binding is a soft binding. That is, every query
may be accessing a different server. Therefore, if a replica is not in
sync with the master, clients will get inconsistant information for
every query. When you get inconsistant information for queries run the
snoop command (see Section 2.3) to find out which server is providing
the incorrect information.
