>Description:
When a user/group is added/modified, etc., the YP information
is not automatically updated.
>How-To-Repeat:
Add a user on the YP master using the user(8) utilities. On a
YP client, notice that the user doesn't exist. On the YP master,
"cd /var/yp; make", and notice that the user now exists on the
YP client.
>Fix:
There are a couple of ways this can be addressed. The traditional
SunOS way was to have a cron job that just did a yppush using
the Makefile every hour. Another way would be for the user(8)
tools to check to see if it's being run on the YP master and to
force a push. The former is probably better, for the case where
a single machine is the master for multiple YP domains.
