Hello, I'm having a bit of trouble getting my FreeBSD workstation ( 5.4 PRERELEASE ) binding to our Solaris 8 NIS server. I do not get any warnings or errors when ypbind starts up, but if I do a 'rpcinfo localhost', it takes a very long time to come back with anything(stays in a 'nanslp' state the whole time), and trying to do a 'ypcat hosts' ( or an equivalent ypcat query ) times out with the error:
$ ypcat hosts ypcat: no such map hosts.byaddr. reason: Can't bind to server which serves this domain if I run rpcbind manually with the -d flag I get the following message: $ rpcbind -d rpcbind debugging enabled. can't get local ip6 address: hostname nor servname provided, or not known Now, I dont have ipv6 compiled in the kernel, but is rpcbind dependent on it? Here are the parameters I'm using in rc.conf for nis: rpcbind_enable="YES" nisdomainname="delta" nis_client_enable="YES" nis_client_flags="-S delta,engr-nis1,engr-nis2" Any info is appreciated, I would like to access my NFS home directory from my workstation :) Mike C _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
