Does anyone of you successfully implemented NIS using Redhat 9? I'm having a problem and I'm already frustrated solving the problem. I'm using the default RPMs of Redhat 9 needed for NIS server and client such as ypserv-2.6-2, ypbind-1.11-4 etc. I've already finished setting-up the NIS server and the client. When I'm trying to connect the client during startup, this error occurred: Listening for an NIS domain server ..... [FAILED]. I logged to the workstation as root and tried restarting the ypbind service but this error appeared: ypbind failed. The error was: Binding to the NIS domain: [OK] Listening for an NIS domain server [FAILED]. When i logged to the client as root and run 'ypbind -debug', this error occurred: [root@tsdws root]# ypbind -debug parsing config file Trying entry: ypserver 192.168.239.1 parsed ypserver 192.168.239.1 add_server() domain: Linux, host: 192.168.239.1, slot: 0 Trying entry: domain Linux server Linuxserver parsed domain 'Linux' server 'Linuxserver' add_server() domain: Linux, host: Linuxserver, slot: 1 [Welcome to ypbind-mt, version 1.11] ping host '192.168.239.1', domain 'Linux' host '192.168.239.1' doesn't answer. ping host 'Linuxserver', domain 'Linux' host 'Linuxserver' doesn't answer. ypbindproc_domain_2_svc (Linux) trylock = success ping host '192.168.239.1', domain 'Linux' host '192.168.239.1' doesn't answer. ping host 'Linuxserver', domain 'Linux' host 'Linuxserver' doesn't answer.

What should I do now? Please help. PhiliP MoreS TecH Support DepT -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
