Ich versuche es mal auf deutsch :-) Also, dieses Problem ist im Moment derart nervig, dass ich kurz vorm Durchdrehen bin! Das Wochenende waren die Maschinen alle unten. Ich habe selbst mit einem "ungebundenen" ypbind kein Glueck. Auf einem Slaveserver, der gleichzeitig auch Client sein soll, wird empfohlen, diese Bindung zu erzwingen. Offenbar kann aber der Client nicht mit dem Server in Verbindung treten, warum auch immer. Selbst wenn die IPFilter und der TCPwrapper abgestellt sind, ist dieses Problem praesent. Ganz wild wird es auf einem unserer X11-Client Server, der via DHCP und TFTP eine ganze Reihe von Diskless X11-Terminals bedient. Ist auf diesem ypbind gestartet, egal mit welchen Optionen, ist TFTP nicht mehr in der Lage zu senden. Ich werde einmal sehen, ob die Sache mit der Logdatei etwas neues bringt ...
