Hi: If I'm posting to the wrong list, please let me know. There is a long-running problem in FreeBSD's yp/ypbind that is evidenced by: Aug 4 02:01:43 tuva ypbind[160]: NIS server [192.32.150.15] for domain "engeast" not responding Aug 4 02:02:14 tuva last message repeated 30 times Aug 4 02:04:15 tuva last message repeated 121 times (And there would be other messages about throttling icmp messages, except I've applied a patch to ypbind.c that at least throttles things down to 1 message per second. This patch was posted to questions.) ... and it never rebinds to any other server. The only way I've found to fix the problem is to reboot. I am experiencing this in 4.3 Release, and I've had it in 4.2 and earlier. This problem has seen a little discussion in questions. But I've never seen anything in any of the lists about a solution to the core problem. Maybe I've missed this? Anyone working on this? It is a pretty serious problem (since you basically can't do anything once it happens in typical NIS/Amd installations). I'd appreciate, at least, knowing if there is a non-reboot work-around.
