Note
Network Information Service (NIS) subordinate (also known as slave) servers require that the NIS master server name in the local /etc/hosts file matches the master server name in the NIS maps exactly, including the case of the letters of these names.

Server for NIS typically displays the host computer name entirely in upper case characters.
