That indicates that portmap either isn't running on the NIS server, or
iptables
is blocking access to it. Portmap controls access to RPC based services,
and
both NIS and NFS require access to it. Check that portmap is enabled on
both the
NIS and NFS servers by running:
# chkconfig --list portmap
Portmap should normally be on for run levels 3,4 and 5.
If it's not enabled, enable it either with chkconfig or ntsysv. Then start
it with:
# service portmap start
Once you have portmap enabled on both servers you need to check client
access.
You do this from the NFS client by running:
# rpcinfo -p <RPC server>
substitute <RPC server> with the hostname (or IP) of the NIS and NFS
servers. If
you don't get a response it usually means that iptables is getting in the
way.
If you get a response from rpcinfo but still can't start the service that
might
be because iptables is open for portmap (port 111) but not for the service
which
is required. RPC services generally have dynamic ports, hence the use of
portmap.
All the other symptoms may well be caused by the lack of RPC.
