> Q1: network up before starting NIS? (watch out for NetworkMangler^H^H^H^Hager starting only after someone logs in.) Yes. -- I had another machine in the past where this was a problem. NIS didn't work after boot, but when I manually restarted ypbind it started working. No such luck this time. > Q2: can you ping the NIS server or its backups? Yes. > Q3: portmapper running? > chkconfig --list portmap No, but it looks like portmap was superseded by rpcbind, which is running: # /etc/init.d/rpcbind status rpcbind (pid 2828) is running... Also, rpcinfo reports several portmapper services. > another command to add to your yp test suite: ypwhich # /etc/init.d/ypbind status SIOCADDRT: File exists ypbind (pid 22270) is running... # ypwhich ypwhich: Can't communicate with ypbind This doesn't change if I stop both iptables and ip6tables (and then restart ypbind). Another thing I tried: /etc/init.d/portreserve stop and chkconfig portreserve off but that didn't make a difference either. I also ran yum install ypserv, without actually turning it on. No luck still.
