in /var/log/messages, i get: Jan 3 19:44:06 venus ypserv[283]: access to master.passwd.byuid denied -- client 192.168.1.105:49167 not privileged Jan 3 19:44:06 venus ypserv[283]: access to master.passwd.byname denied -- client 192.168.1.105:49167 not privileged Obviously, the problem is that the NIS lookup request is coming from a non-priveleged (> 1024) port, and ypserv won't honor it. What's not so obvious is why/how this is happening. I found this reply, to someone who has had the same problems: That message gets printed whenever a remote NIS client tries to access master.passwd.* over a non-privileged port. Only root should have access to the master maps, so a remote process has to bind to a port < 1024 before doing the lookup, to prove that it's root. It looks like for some reason you have a process that's running as root but is using a port over 1024. I can't see anyplace in the NIS client code that binds the socket, though, so I must be looking in the wrong place. It has to work, or else you wouldn't be able to log in using NIS at all.
