NIS-to-LDAP Restrictions

When the N2L server has been set up, the NIS source files are no longer used. Therefore, do not run ypmake on an N2L server. If ypmake is accidentally run, such as for an existing cron job, the N2L service is unaffected. However, a warning is logged suggesting that yppush should be called explicitly.
