NIS Authentication/Adding user question

[Michael Yang]

Hello All,
   
  I am new to a lab and now trying to add an new user onto the lab network which has Linux workstations and a Freebsd server. All user's home directories are shared on the Freebsd server and the server hold all user account information using NIS/NFS. 
   
  I have added a new user to the server, and run 'make' under /var/yp afterwards, I still not able to logon from the workstatins with the new account i created on the server, and I do not see the new account info shows in /var/yp/master.passwd file.
   
  My questions are: 
   
  1. Am I missing anything steps in the process of adding users
   
  2. How long will it take to propogate the new account settings
   
  Thank you in advance for your response.
   
  Regards,
   
  Michael
