We have only a master server "zeus.adm.fisicc-ufm.edu", no slaves, one NIS domain "olympia.fisicc" and all clients are in time synch with zeus. The clients used to be in the same network with the server (192.168.1.0) but that was when we was setting up the clients 1 by 1 so we have no chance to see if has the same problems, now each lab contains like 40 clients, we have 4 labs (lab1: 192.168.2.0 lab2: 192.168.3.0 lab3:192.168.4.0 and lab4: 192.168.5.0) The clients are almost 95% the day in windows and a few days we have like 60 in FreeBSD (student projects), very tipically it hangs in X with the user logged in and display a message like RPC time out. The server's link is @ 100Mb/s and the clients @ 10Mb/s. Each LAN is connected to 3Com switches and each switch is connected to a big 3Com switch (CoreBuilder) and are organized with VLANS. Each VLAN has a default router which is this CoreBuilder which do routing too. The server's NIC is 3Com 3c59x II Boomerang and client's NIC is Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B. When the client starts ypset, this say: ypset: sorry, cannot ypset for domain olympia.fisicc on host So after that we perform an ypset -setme and works with this problems. The server 's rc.conf says: # Network Information Services (NIS) options: ### nis_client_enable="YES" # We're an NIS client (or NO). nis_client_flags="" # Flags to ypbind (if enabled). nis_ypset_enable="NO" # Run ypset at boot time (or NO). nis_ypset_flags="" # Flags to ypset (if enabled). nis_server_enable="YES" # We're an NIS server (or NO). nis_server_flags="" # Flags to ypserv (if enabled). nis_ypxfrd_enable="NO" # Run rpc.ypxfrd at boot time (or NO). nis_ypxfrd_flags="" # Flags to rpc.ypxfrd (if enabled). nis_yppasswdd_enable="YES" # Run rpc.yppasswdd at boot time (or NO). nis_yppasswdd_flags="-t /var/yp/master.passwd" # Flags to rpc.yppasswdd (if enabled). And the client's rc.conf says: nisdomainname="olympia.fisicc" # Set to NIS domain if using NIS (or NO) # Network Information Services (NIS) options: ### nis_client_enable="YES" # We're an NIS client (or NO). nis_client_flags="-ypsetme" # Flags to ypbind (if enabled). nis_ypset_enable="YES" # Run ypset at boot time (or NO). nis_ypset_flags="zeus" # Flags to ypset (if enabled). nis_server_enable="NO" # We're an NIS server (or NO). nis_server_flags="" # Flags to ypserv (if enabled). nis_ypxfrd_enable="NO" # Run rpc.ypxfrd at boot time (or NO). nis_ypxfrd_flags="" # Flags to rpc.ypxfrd (if enabled). nis_yppasswdd_enable="NO" # Run rpc.yppasswdd at boot time (or NO). nis_yppasswdd_flags="" # Flags to rpc.yppasswdd (if enabled).
