[BBLISA] Help setting up NIS (or alternative to NIS.)

[Steven M Jones]

I'm pretty sure we used to promote slaves to masters in this
sort of situation. And that it was possible to regenerate the
source form of the maps from the preprocessed versions the
slaves keep. Of course you do lose comments and formatting...

Similar to what other folks are saying, I'd be tempted to set
up a periodic rsync-over-ssh job to keep a copy of the source
maps on the slave. Seems like the easiest way to deal with it.
And hey, you're already expending resources to make sure the
secondary is up and available, so why involve a third host?

Just wish all the systems I'd check this out on weren't in
storage...

Good luck, let us know how you decide to deal with it.
