It sounds like ypbind is starting before rpc.portmap? We have a similar problem with FC3 and we actually shuffle the order of some of the scripts in /etc/rc5.d to fix it. Check out what order your programs are starting in. :b! Brian D. McGrew { brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx || brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx } -- > This is a test. This is only a test!

At boot time the daemon doesn't starts correctly and the error message reported in /var/log/messages is the following: portmap[2270]: connect from 127.0.0.1 to set(ypbind): request from unprivileged port ypbind[2266]: Unable to register (YPBINDPROG, YPBINDOLDVERS, udp). I have 40 PCs with the same problem (while another different PC, also with FC4 ha no problems...) ... And all of them were working just fine before... Well, before something happened. I think the problem should be due to some updates, but I do not know which ones. These PCs are used by students and they started reporting problems just today. In the last days the lab have been pretty empty though, therefore the problem may have been there for a longer time (let's say 20 days). It looks like by restarting the daemon after the boot solves the problem. Any hint for this? Thank you in advance for your help.
