I am trying to add the mail.aliases map to my Makefile on my NIS/YP server. I have added 'mail' to list of maps to build, and ensured that it is pointing to the correct aliases file (/etc/aliases).
The problem I am getting is that when I run make, I get a "Callback timed out" error like the following:
mail.aliases -> "SlaveNisServer": Callback timed out
The other maps seem to build successfully.
Does anyone have any idea what could be going wrong here?
