sympton: ypbind starting process times out during boot or restart with error message: * Starting ypbind ... * No NIS server found [ !! ] rpcinfo reports localhost and remote NIS server both fine. If /etc/init.d/ypbind was used for startup, then several ypbind processes are shown in `ps ax | grep ypbind`. The package is : net-nds/ypbind-1.19.1-r1 sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.5-r2 kernel-2.6.16.28-xen, kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 Simon
Unless you post your configuration, your guess is as good as ours...

While running ypbind manually, I got following result: # ypbind -d 5308: parsing config file 5308: Trying entry: domain NISDOMAIN server 192.168.122.9 5308: parsed domain 'NISDOMAIN' server '192.168.122.9' 5308: add_server() domain: NISDOMAIN, host: 192.168.122.9, slot: 0 5308: [Welcome to ypbind-mt, version 1.19.1] 5308: ping interval is 20 seconds 5316: ping host '192.168.122.9', domain 'NISDOMAIN' 5316: Pinging all active server. 5316: ping host '192.168.122.9', domain 'NISDOMAIN' 5316: Pinging all active server. 5316: ping host '192.168.122.9', domain 'NISDOMAIN' 5316: Pinging all active server. 5316: ping host '192.168.122.9', domain 'NISDOMAIN' 5316: Pinging all active server. 5316: ping host '192.168.122.9', domain 'NISDOMAIN' .... # rpcinfo -p 192.168.122.9 program vers proto port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100004 1 udp 1021 ypserv 100004 2 udp 1021 ypserv 100004 1 tcp 1023 ypserv 100004 2 tcp 1023 ypserv 600100069 1 udp 1015 fypxfrd 600100069 1 tcp 1022 fypxfrd 100007 2 udp 1011 ypbind 100007 2 tcp 1021 ypbind 100001 1 udp 1103 rstatd 100001 2 udp 1103 rstatd 100001 3 udp 1103 rstatd 100002 1 udp 1104 rusersd 100002 2 udp 1104 rusersd
Run some more tests. If running NIS master on a local machine, then ypbind works fine. However, it does not bind to remote NIS server even if rpcinfo tells connection to remote NIS server is ok. What is the thing that blocks ypbind from communicating with remote NIS server?
I narrowed this down to Gentoo ypbind compatible issue with ypserv running on a FreeBSD 4.7 machine. Not know why this could be a problem since other clients (CentOS 4.x, RH 7.3, IRIX, etc) work just fine. However, earlier version gentoo installation (Gentoo 2005.1) works without any problem. Using Gentoo or CentOS 4.x as NIS server, binding from a Gentoo machine seems working fine. However, I really like to make Gentoo 2006.1 works with our existing NIS server. Can't create a new NIS server every time got a client issue. Simon
you say that it used to work on your older system... did you try emerging ypbind-1.17.2 to see if there was an issue in the newer version which came out at the end of 2005? Also, what is your /etc/yp.conf file's contents?
No response from submitter... closing as it works for me.
