I am having no luck getting NIS to work on a clean install of CentOS 6. It seems to be an issue with ypbind.
I have simple /etc/yp.conf which explicitly sets the server
domain myDomain server myServer
The service seems to start okay
#service ypbind start
Starting NIS service: [OK]
Binding NIS service: … [OK]
But when I try to use any of the yp services, like ypwhich
#ypwhich
ypwhich: Can't communicate with ypbind
This is usually blamed on ypbind not running, but ypbind is confirmed to be running
#ps -ef | grep ypbind
root 3033 1 0 15:11 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/ypbind
ypcat also does not work
#ypcat netgroup
No such map net group. Reason: Can't bind to the server which serves this domain
I have double checked that the server is running
#rpcinfo -u myServer ypserv
program 100004 version 1 ready and waiting
program 100004 version 2 ready and waiting
The domain name seems to be set correctly as well
#domainname
myDomain
I have tried disabling iptables and selinux, but that has no effect. I am probably missing something obvious, but NIS has never given me these issues before.
Any suggestions on what might be the culprit?
