Hi,
I have a machine runnign as a NIS client (2.2-STABLE), using a 2.1.7
macine as the NIS server. The above message comes up on the console
towards the end of boot...many times...it just keeps scrolling past.
In messages there are lots of:
ypbind[101]: NIS server [<IP address of NIS server>] for
domain "<NIS domain>" not responding
I can use ypcat on the server and retreive the passwd file etc. rpcinfo -p
returns:
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100004 2 udp 688 ypserv
100004 2 tcp 690 ypserv
100009 1 udp 692 yppasswdd
100007 2 udp 695 ypbind
100007 2 tcp 697 ypbind
The client then proceeds to fork itself to death. It denies the existence
of all the users in the NIS database.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Andrew
