[wplug] pushing cups client config with nis

[John Harrold]

howdy.

i want to push the file /etc/cups/client.conf with nis, since i'm using nis for
everything else. i had to do something similar to push the auto mount stuff in
/etc, but it doesnt seem to work with what i'm doing. this is on redhat 9
(rh9), using a Makefile which i've modified along the way from redhat 6.2

at the top of the Makefile i add this:

CUPSCLIENT  = $(YPSRCDIR)/cups/client.conf

then to the 'all' portion i added:

all: .... client.conf \ 


then below the line that says: "DON'T EDIT ANYTHING BELOW IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU ARE DOING !!!", i added the following:

client.conf: $(CUPSCLIENT) $(YPDIR)/Makefile
    @echo "Updating $@..."
    - at sed -e "/^#/d" -e s/#.*$$// $(CUPSCLIENT) | $(DBLOAD) \
        -i $(CUPSCLIENT) -o $(YPMAPDIR)/$@ - $@
    -@$(NOPUSH) || $(YPPUSH) -d $(DOMAIN) $@


when i run make it doesnt choke or anything. afterwards i restart ypserv on the
server and ypbind on the client. then when i try to run ypcat

$ ypcat client.conf

it returns nothing. would anyone care to comment on this? i honestly dont know
what that last chunk of stuff i added does, but it worked when i added the
automount stuff.

 "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of
  the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to
  drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship,
  or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the
  people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is
  easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and
  denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country
  to greater danger."
