I am running 2.1.7 on a 486-33MHz host named scar. I am attempting to
use
NIS to authenticate logins on this machine. Everything starts up
without
any error messages, but only local login ids and passwords are accepted
at
a login prompt. I have added the '+' entries to /etc/passwd, /etc/group
and
/etc/aliases and have uncommented the NIS entry in /etc/host.conf. I
start
ypbind successfully, then ypwhich shows I am bound to the master server
in my
domain named gie (a Sun Ultra Enterprise 4000 running Solaris 2.5.1).
When
I run 'ypwhich scar' on the server I get an error message of "ypwhich:
can't
call ypbind on scar: RPC: program/version mismatch; low version = 2,
high
version = 2". Running 'ypwhich -V2 scar' returns gie.
Running rpcinfo and grepping for yp on gie yields (header added);

Is there a place on the FreeBSD web site to look for NIS related
problems?
Does anyone know of any solutions or workarounds for this problem? I
have
the O'Reilly book on NFS and NIS but it does not seem to address this
problem. Any help will be appreciated very much.
