I have that situation as I was having a few hassles using Irix master and slave NIS servers. Now I have a FreeBSD NIS master and two IRIX 6.5 NIS slave servers. They can pull their maps, no problem, but when I do cd /var/yp <edit master.passwd> and then a make I get all sorts of messages like this: yppush: transfer of map group.bygid to server fred.splat.ac.za failed yppush: status returned by ypxfr: no such host yppush: foxtrot.sanbi.ac.za : couldn't create udp handle to NIS server: RPC: Unknown host This is all lies! I can look up fred with nslookup. Fred's in the hosts file. all over the place. I've asked before on this list and on comp.unix.admin but no-one's had any useful suggestions. I'm seriously considering movaing away from FreeBSD for NIS. -- Irvine Short Sys Admin SANBI, University of the Western Cape, South Africa http://www.sanbi.ac.za tel: +27-21-959 3645 fax: +27-21-959 2512 cel: +27-82-494 3828 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
