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:
