[Sunhelp] Questions on IP address changes and NIS

[Dennis L. Lund]

On the NIS server, all you should have to do is change the IP on it and
then "vi" your NIS hosts file and change the IP's for each entry to the
new IP address for that machine.  You should probably do the NIS master
first.

Don't forget to check the /etc/hosts files on each machine for other entries
that should be changed.

You will probably have to change your defaultrouter (/etc/defaultrouter) 
as well.

I had to do this several years ago when the NIS master was a SunOS 4.1.3 
server.  It can take some time, but is not to dificult.
