Hi,
I am desperately trying to set up an NIS Client on FreeBSD.
First, I have read and followed the "Setting Up an NIS Client Section" but it did not work. It has come out that the NIS server is on another subnet and that's why the client cannot find it.
Then, I have found how to set the IP address of the NIS server in the "NIS servers that are also NIS clients" section (It was hard to find it, since it is another topic...), but it also seems unusable in practice.
The phenomenon is the same:
Boot is very slow. Logging in and 'su' also. 'ypcat passwd' waits very long then telling:
'ypcat: no such map passwd.byname. reason: Can't bind to server which serves this domain'
It is all the same if I set things in rc.conf, or start ypbind manually. ('ypbind -S <domain>,<server>' no spaces)
There cannot be problem with either the server or the NIS domain name, because other clients are working quite well with it, running Linux and not FreeBSD.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks in advance:
