From: Tony Maher To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, bauer@genprofile.com, bll@gentoo.com Cc: Subject: Re: bin/14782: ypbind can not bind to Solaris NIS master server Date: Sat, 26 Feb 2000 20:16:55 +1100 As indicated previously I have not had any trouble on the local LAN in the office in getting NIS to bind to a Solaris 7 server (from FreeBSD 3.4-stable). Just tried from home over modem and I do get problems in binding. THere were 2 copies of ypbind and they were repeatedly dying and spawning new copies. tcpdump showed that broadcasts going over home ethernet network rather than over tun0 interface. 20:02:16.680190 dt.1217 > 192.168.0.255.sunrpc: udp 132 From the man page ypbind -m -S nis.int.DOMAIN,foo.int.domain,bar.int.domain fixed the problem for me. I am wondering if you are in a subnet and your broadcasts are not reaching the NIS master. tonym To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
