- I am having problems with NIS (Yellow Pages) under RISCos 5.0B.
- I have setup NIS on SUN machines and DEC machines before without
- problems, but this time I am having problems.
-
- I first tried setting up the machine as an NIS client. The problem
- was the ypbind program would not bind to a ypserv program
- running on my other machines. I noted that the NIS startup file,
- /etc/init.d/yp_client, uses the -ypset option. It then uses the
- ypset command with the contents of /etc/my_yp_master for
- its arguments to set the NIS server. Why must I do this?
- Why doesn't it bind to a server using broadcast techniques?
-
- I even tried making the machine an NIS slave server so it would bind to
- its local NIS server. This did not work either. The NIS startup file,
- /etc/init.d/yp_submaster, also uses the -ypset option to ypbind
- followed by the ypset command.
-
- I ran rpcinfo to try to see what is going on. I noted the version
- numbers of the ypbind programs are different than those on my SUN
- and DEC machines. I suspect a problem with incorrect versions numbers.
- Has anyone seen this problem?
