We are using solaris 2.7 as a yp server. Last night when trying to add a new user I got an RPC error message 'Create clnt failure: RPC: Program not registered'. I did '/etc/init.d/rpc stop' then 'start' and this seemed to fix the new user problem. This morning it appears that the mail server is down. I found the following in /var/log/syslog Aug 31 07:31:03 ace.bsd.uchicago.edu sendmail[4480]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): Cann ot bind to map mail.aliases in domain dream: can't communicate with rpcbind: No such file or directory Any thoughts about what I need to do to revive this sucker? But wait! How can I read the responses if my mail server is down. Catch 22! thanks, John Hunter
