Just a guess, FreeBSD's yp system expects you to connect from a secure port (port number < 1024), see if HP has any flags to force use of a secure port, (perhaps you aren't running it as root?) or perhaps FreeBSD has a flag to accept connections from ports > 1024, but i wouldn't leave than enabled, it's a bad security problem. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
