I've managed to get a master server up and going, now the problem is in getting the client to work. The + entry has been put in both /etc/passwd and /etc/group on the client machine, and rc.conf has been set for nis client. With ypbind running i'm unable to do a rpcinfo -p , i kill ypbind and all runs fine. This leads me to believe that something is going wrong with ypbind, it sholdn't be though. From what i've learnt ypbind will send out requests to find the master server and then bind to it, for some reason this isn't happening? # domainname radius # ypwhich can't yp_bind: Reason: Domain not found Brad Forschinger
