Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello. We've been running the FreeBSD system with NFS and NIS for about 8 months now without any major problems. The NFS and NIS server is a Linux machine. Since a couple of days ago NIS is not running correctly. It causes the portmapper to generate multiple portmap processes on the Linux box and bot portmap and ypbind on the freebsd box begin taking up a hideous amount of system resources (The CPU usage is something like 90%). The only thing that happened out of the ordinary is that the /usr directory got filled up because of the news history file grew too large. After that was fixed we rebooted the system and no users are allowed to log in on the FreeBSD NIS client. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Tamas.
