I'm running Debian 1.3.1 on 55 machines here, and they all have the same problem:
$ps aux|grep yp blanchet 5008 0.0 1.0 912 328 p0 S 14:28 0:00 grep yp Ok, ypbind does not run (it crashes often when NIS server shuts down). $ypwhich can't clnt_call: Can't communicate with ypbind Ok. $ypcat passwd [... my whole passwd map ...] I don't understand why, ypbind is not running but NIS functions still work ? nis version: 2.20-1 libc version: 5.4.33-6 Thanks Pierre Blanchet. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
