Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Changing NIS master

Yes we still use NIS.

We've got a NIS master on an old physical box. We've sorted buiding new NIS slaves on ldoms/adding to NIS server list on master and it works fine.

What we would like to do is move the NIS master to one of the NIS slaves (so we can bin it)?

Can't seem to see how to do it? Would we just build another NIS master then get rid of the old one?
