- I am having a problem with PC-NFS and a Sun 3/60. The problem is not
- critical; it is just plain annoying.
-
- I upgraded three IBM PS/2 Model 70-A21's from PC-NFS 3.0.1 to PC-NFS 4.0
- two days ago. Now, whenever one of them logs into the Sun, the console
- of the Sun displays an error message similar (but not exactly like) to the
- following:
-
- [date] [time] pcnfsd[100]: rpc.pcnfsd: fail on yp_bind
-
- Then, after a few minutes, the Sun console will say:
-
- last error repeated [x] times (the number changes)
-
-
- There is NO Yellow Pages/NIS set up on these machines, and I have checked
- the setup of the ``rogue'' machine to make sure that PC-NFS does not THINK
- that there is any Yellow Pages/NIS service to which to bind. I basically
- am BEWILDERED by this error... _ANY_ help would be appreciated.
-
- As I said, this is NOT critical; just annoying. I HATE it when things don't
- work like they should....
