Hi all, Firstly, thanks to all those of you who helped with the FTP problem I have been having. It has been reclassified as a low priority task, so I will be addressing it some time in the future. I have a new problem though. We are setting up a cluster using NIS for password authentication, with the master node of the cluster as an NIS slave server and the rest of the cluster getting their NIS maps from that node. We are only using 2 nodes at the moment and are going to ghost the images onto the rest of the cluster when the setup is satisfactory. Anyway, If I reboot the cluster, (just the compute node, not the NIS slave node) the node loses it's NIS connection. On boot it doesn't set it's domainname or start ypbind. The logs don't even show ypbind starting! I have to manually do the following: [root@clone /]# domainname cluster [root@clone /]# /etc/init.d/ypbind start Binding to the NIS domain: [ OK ] Listening for an NIS domain server.. [root@clone /]# ypwhich NISslaveserv [root@clone /]# /etc/init.d/autofs reload Checking for changes to /etc/auto.master .... Start /usr/sbin/automount /newhome yp auto.home -nosuid This seems to be a long-winded way of doing things. Our other RH box (not a cluster machine) starts NIS with no problems. Has anyone else come across this problem? It is a headless node running in init 3. This shouldn't have any effect should it? Andrew P.S. Sorry for the long signature, it is standard company policy...
