[ILUG] NIS bind problem

[Patrick Tuite]

Is ypbind running?
ps -aux | grep ypbind

ypbind -c parses the yp.cof file & outputs the settings

Do you have a firewall between the Server and the Client? perhaps the RedHat
lokkit firewall is enabled on the system. It may not be able to bind on it's
default port

the result of rpcinfo -p localhost is

[root at localhost etc]# rpcinfo -p localhost
   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    100024    1   udp  32768  status
    100024    1   tcp  32768  status
    391002    2   tcp  32769  sgi_fam

 and the result of ypwhich is

 [root at localhost etc]# ypwhich
ypwhich: Can't communicate with ypbind

 about domainname, before starting the ypbind I
 set the domainname manuly to test.ca   .

 also I add the "ypserver  roshan" to /etc/yp.conf
 but it didn't change anything. I comment it again.
