Murphy's Law says there's a very simple configuration problem at work here, not a software bug, but since I can't actually see your system I can't even guess what the problem might be. I doubt that Sun has changed their ypserv implementation and I know I haven't changed FreeBSD's ypserv. Of course, you could be using rpc.nisd in compat mode on the server, but we'll never know because you decided not to share this useful piece of information. You also didn't say if your server is a Solaris 2.6 x86 or SPARC system. Until I can duplicate your problem, _you_ need to sit down and do some debugging. Go to the Solaris machine, become root and run 'snoop' or tcpdump and watch the traffic between the Solaris and FreeBSD host. This will probably give you some idea what's wrong. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" ============================================================================= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
