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 ,' 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?
