karl.... why would chkconfig automatically solve his issue(s) regarding nis/ypbind starting on an intermittent basis? if there's something else going on behind the scenes, then chkconfig may have no affect at all... is this the 1st attempt at running nis/ypbind on the server? are there other services running on the box? which services? are there any kind os security services being run on the box that might be interfering? -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Karl Larsen Sent: Monday, July 16, 2007 4:21 PM To: For users of Fedora Subject: Re: ypbind init script fails Andrew Robinson wrote: > I'm running FC6 on an eMachines laptop.
