* Add a new user to your '''host''' with the same name as the one you created on '''vm3''' in lab 4b, but use a different password.
Reconciling some odd instructions
== OBJECTIVE & PREPARATION==
* Download and run the [http://matrix.senecac.on.ca/~peter.callaghan/files/OPS335/nfs.bash nfs.bash] script on each of your machines. This will make your '''host''' an nfs server sharing the home directories held there with the vms. It will also make the vms automatically try to mount the home directories held on '''host''' into their own filesystem as soon as they boot. reboot the VMs now and make sure this is working before continuing.
* An NIS server is used to synchronize system files and other information between machines in an NIS domain.
*Use the following command to verify your NIS server is working - you should see your learnid password record.
ypcat passwd
*Add a new user to your '''host''' with the same name as the one you created on '''vm3''' in lab 4b, but use a different password.
*Run 'ypcat passwd' again.
*Note that the new user does not appear. In order for the new user to show up you will need to recreate the map files- change directory to /var/yp and run the "make" command again.
