Hi :
NIS isn't too stable in my 2.2-960501-SNAP (in fact, nis isn't stable
since I install 2.2 2 monthes ago).
This is a self-nis machine, it's a nis server and it binds itself.
When boot up more than 2 days, nis will begin to act strange.
It will keep on dumping messages on the screen ..
"YP: server for domain FREEBSD not responding, retrying"
"yp_match: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out"
(I used to run screen-3.7.1, when one of the window dumps errors,
other windows work fine just slower in name-resolve. I will have
to kill the window and create a new one to solve it)
At that time there will be lots of "ypserv -n" running (at least 10),
new "ypserv -n" keeps on forking, old ypserv will die, it will
keep the number of ypserv fixed.
Of course, the original "ypserv -n" (the 1st one) will not die.
Sometimes yppasswdd will return error code when changing password
(reboot solves it)
The longer the machine up, the worse it will be. (longer delay in
nis name resolving)
BTW, I saw new yp_mkdb commited, but it isn't in
$SRC/usr.sbin/Makefile (and will not be built)
Help ?! Thanks.
