When you do the ypinit -s, what name do you provide for the server?
It must match the name the server expects, so if the server host name is nis,
then you
do
ypinit -s nis.domainname
I have successfully done ypinit -s ip_address or hostname on several
32-bit clients and they've all been successful.
I did learn that if I at least have a local account created on the client
for the same account on the NIS server, then, with NFS also working, I am
able to have pesudo-NIS running.
I tried to disable checksum offloading, rebooted, but it didn't make any
difference. I also tried changing the MTU to something like 1470, but
that didn't matter, either.
Not sure where to go next...
Can't enumerate maps from <ip> or <host>, depending on what I set as the
server. Please check that it is running... will continue to exist until
an answer is found...

I just had a conversation with a Sr. Redhat Tech support eng, where he was
telling me that there might be an issue with my situation that might be
related to the fact that the server is 64 bit, and the slave is 32bit...
might not be related.... but hmm...
can you post your ypserv.conf, as well as your yp.conf files
I'll have to check on my ypserv.comf file - I don't recall having edited
that.
yp.conf on the server is:
ypserver 127.0.0.1
yp.conf on the client is:
domain my-nis-domain server ip-of-server

I'm trying to connect another, and for the life of me, cannot figure out

SELinux and the firewall. I just cannot get it to bind.
Ideas?
Hi do you have the appropriate entry in /etc/hosts for ypserv on NIS
Server ?
Yep. This is on a small lan - /etc/hosts acts as local dns.
The error is the one when ypinit -s server hasn't been run. I've had two
successful runs on 32-bit C5 adding said 32-bit hosts to the network, but
this one 64-bit C5 system is giving me the NIS problems. I can ssh, ping,
and doing anything else I want. Again, the 32-bit hosts work fine against
the server. This one 64-bit machine is simply giving me the NIS
headaches.
Thanks for any/all ideas.
Scott
Thanks.
