so, i just installed CentOS on our server and set up NIS using the

services complain that although they can find the correct server, the
server does not respond to requests.
to debug this, i've:
* pinged the server using its ip and it's name
* ssh'ed to the server using it's ip and name
* ftp'd to the server using its ip and name
* used dig to get the server's address from itself (dig @stretch
stretch.washcslab.org
* checked to see that nfs and ypserv are running
* checked to see if stretch could bind to it's own nis server
and all of these were successful. so, I also:
* run ypserv (on the server) and ypbind (on the server) both in
debug mode and gotten no errors
* run ypserv (on the server) and ypbind (on the CLIENT) both in
debug mode and gotten no errors
any help with this really gnarly bug would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Are you running with Security Enhanced Linux Enabled or Disabled ?
If so try disabling it at least temporarily. Some people will say set
to permissive mode rather than disable, but specifically for NIS I
have seen different behaviour between permissive and disabled. If
this works others may be able to assist you with getting SE Linux
worknig with NIS.
Are you running a Firewall ?
