solaris 10 nis client

it never ends, does it?

 solaris 10 nis domain client  
 Add a client to the new NIS domain  
 /etc/hosts to include entries for the NIS master and all slaves.  
 10.10.10.1     nis1 nis1.nisdomainname  
 10.10.10.2     nis2 nis2.nisdomainname  
 # domainname nisdomainname  
 # domainname > /etc/defaultdomain  
 # cat /etc/defaultdomain  
 nisdomainname  
 # ypinit -c  
 Add the following hosts:  
 nis_master  
 nis_slave  
 nis_other_slave  
 nis_master-a   (other interface, if available)  
 nis_slave-a   (other interface, if available)  
 nis_other_slave-a   (other interface, if available)  
 Edit nsswitch.nis and copt it over to nsswitch.conf  

* nb: when doing ypinit, the hostname is the NAME not the IP address
  in /etc/hosts oh yes.
