I decided to start using NIS between a couple FBSD boxes, and overall things are going well with one big exception. Seems if an IP address connects to my server that won't resolve, then NIS hangs the session and I end up with stacks of sendmail and ftpd's that just pile up till the box gets overloaded with processes.. :( As an example, here is a netstat from one of the machines: tcp4 0 0 mail1.ftp nts2.1634 TIME_WAIT tcp4 0 0 mail1.smtp fj.egroups.com.19006 TIME_WAIT yp_match: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out yp_match: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out yp_match: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out yp_match: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out yp_match: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out Note the Timed out messages will just keep on scrolling, and the netstat will never return to the shell prompt unless I break out of the process. So really any program that needs DNS resolution this could happen to. I have several machines in the NIS group, all are FBSD 4.0 or 4.1, some are Intel, and some are DEC Alpha, and they all do the exact same thing. Any ideas, as I have to keep rebooting every couple days to clear the thousands of processes that just stack up over time.. :( --- Howard Leadmon - howardl@abs.net - http://www.abs.net ABSnet Internet Services - Phone: 410-361-8160 - FAX: 410-361-8162 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
