Hello,
I am using unstable with kernel 2.4.2.
I try to setup my NIS server all day long, but still can solve my problem.
(It is a easy task when I using Redhat. )
I also lookup for the NIS HOWTO, but it does not say much about my question.
I also reference the steps in /usr/share/doc/nis to setup my nis Server, but
still failed.
I am sure that the portmapper is working correctly.
% rpcinfo -p
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100004 2 udp 701 ypserv
100004 1 udp 701 ypserv
100004 2 tcp 704 ypserv
100004 1 tcp 704 ypserv
100009 1 udp 699 yppasswdd
600100069 1 udp 704
600100069 1 tcp 706
And when I type:
%rpcinfo -u localhost ypserv
The result is:
rpcinfo: RPC: Timed out
program 100004 version 0 is not available
While I use the following command:
# rpcinfo -u localhost yppasswdd
program 100009 version 1 ready and waiting
I really can understand how could this happen?
I also start ypserv in the debuggin mode, the message are:
Welcome to the NYS YP Server, version 1.3.11 (with securenets)]
Find securenet: 255.0.0.0 127.0.0.0
Find securenet: 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
ypserv.conf: dns: 0
ypserv.conf: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:shadow.byname:2:0:2
ypserv.conf: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:passwd.adjunct.byname:2:0:2
ypserv.conf: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:*:0:0:2
I compare these with those produced by the "RedHat" machine, they are almost
the same.
I really confused this problem, can someone help me.
