Subject:   Urgent: yppush hangs when pushing to Solaris8
Message-ID:  <ML-3.4.991856869.2102.patl@asimov.phoenix.volant.org>

I have a customer with an NIS master set up on FreeBSD 4.1 and a slave
on a Netra X1 running Solaris8.  When I try to yppush from the server,
it fails after a long (5 min+) hang.  Here's a log (with actual host/
domain names obscured):

root@fbsd.1006>yppush -vvv netgroup.byhost
yppush: initiating transfer: netgroup.byhost -> fbsd.my.dom (transid =
991850786)
yppush: fbsd.my.dom has been called
yppush: checking return status: transaction ID: 991850786
yppush: transfer of map netgroup.byhost to server fbsd.my.dom failed
yppush: status returned by ypxfr: Master's version not newer
yppush: initiating transfer: netgroup.byhost -> x1.my.dom (transid = 991850787)
yppush: x1.my.dom has been called
yppush: all jobs dispatched
yppush: x1.my.dom has not responded
yppush: fbsd.my.dom has responded
yppush: 1 transfer still pending
yppush: timed out
yppush: warning: exiting with transfer to x1.my.dom (transid = 991850787) still
pending


Getting a suitable log from the Solaris side appears to be more difficult.
A manual ypxfr yields:

root@x1.28> /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypxfr -f netgroup.byhost
ypxfr: couldnot get fbsd.my.dom address
(info) fbsd.my.dom nis.dom netgroup.byhost ypxfrd getdbm failed (reason = -1)
-- using ypxfr


Note that fbsd.my.dom is explicitly in the /etc/hosts file on the x1;
and, of course, it is in both the NIS and DNS maps and the machines
are able to communicate with no problems.

I do not have ypxfrd running on the FreeBSD box because of the
incompatability between *BSD and Sun implementations.


If we can't get this push fixed, they will probably abandon the use of
FreeBSD...
