Hi,
I use FreeBSD 2.2.1 and cannot get NIS working.
I had it working on FreeBSD 2.1. Beneath is the way I configured the NIS installation. I did not find an answer in the FreeBSD e-mail collection. Do you know what could be the error ? All the information is about alpha, a NIS server and also a NIS client.
Many thanks for your help in advance.
Claudio
I configured alpha, which is a NIS-SERVER the following way:
============================================================
1) in /etc/sysconfig set defaultdomainname=".z13"
2) in /etc/sysconfig set nis_clientflags=""
3) in /etc/sysconfig set nis_serverflags=""
4) in /etc/sysconfig set yppasswddflags="-m /var/yp/master.passwd -s -f"
5) cp /etc/master.passwd /var/yp/master.passwd
6) from /etc/master.passwd take off NIS users
7) in /etc/master.passwd put +::::::::: as last line
8) in /var/yp/master.passwd leave only NIS users
9) touch /var/yp/ypservers
10) pushd /var/yp; make
12) uncomment #nis in the file /etc/host.conf
13) reboot
14) alpha# ps -auxw|grep yp
root 96 0.0 2.3 608 896 ?? Ss 3:54PM 0:04.96 ypserv
root 100 0.0 1.6 224 612 ?? Is 3:54PM 0:00.05 rpc.yppasswdd -m /var/yp/master.passwd -s -f
root 103 0.0 1.4 180 532 ?? Is 3:54PM 0:00.17 ypbind
Then the following commands work e.g.
=====================================
1) alpha# ypcat passwd
claudio:*:1000:1000:Claudio Eichenberger,,,+41:/home/claudio:/bin/csh
msql:*:1002:1002:Msql Administrator :/home/msql:/bin/csh
roland:*:1003:1003:Roland Pfyffer:/home/roland:/bin/csh
www:*:1001:1001:WWW Administrator:/home/www:/bin/csh
alpha#
2) alpha# ypchsh claudio
#Changing NIS information for claudio.
Login: claudio
...
But, several other commands do not work e.g.
============================================
1) alpha# su claudio
su: unknown login: claudio
2) alpha# rlogin alpha -l claudio
Password:
Login incorrect #despite I provided the correct password
login:
3) alpha# netscape
yp_match: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out
yp_match: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out
...
Then I made the following test:
===============================
1) alpha# ps -auxw|grep ypserv
root 96 0.0 2.3 608 896 ?? Ss 3:54PM 0:04.96 ypserv
alpha# kill 96
alpha# ypserv -d

10.10.10.11 is another machine of the subnet 10.10.10.0 but it is turned off at the moment.
Then, I traced a 'su claudio'
=============================
I) From a first xterm I made:
==========================
alpha# ps -auxw|grep ypserv
root 96 0.0 2.3 608 896 ?? Ss 3:54PM 0:04.96 ypserv
alpha# kill 96
alpha# ypserv -d

passwd_taken_off means that I took the passwords off in this description
II) While from another xterm I made:
================================
alpha# su claudio
Jun 14 16:42:31 alpha ypbind[103]: NIS server [10.10.10.10] for domain ".z13" not responding
Jun 14 16:42:31 alpha ypbind[103]: NIS server [10.10.10.10] for domain ".z13" OK
yp_first: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out
su: unknown login: claudio
alpha#
