I have a NIS master server under Fedora &nbsp;core 5<br />
This server is very old and having some hardware issues and I’m planning to replace him with a new one. (new server will have new IP/hostname)<br />
Would love to get some instructions the steps of configuring the new server.<br />
After the new installation of the OS what steps do need to do in order to replicate and move all the NIS/YP data to the new server and make him active/Master<br />
Should there be any issue if the new server will be CentOS 5.5 64bit (the old fedora is 32)?<br />
What do I need to do to deactivate the old server after the new one is working?<br />
Any workflow and instructions are welcome :)<br />
Thanks<br />
Nir<br />
