/etc/sysconfig/network ------------------- NISDOMAIN=mydomain.ca Nsswitch.conf ----------------------- has "nis" added for passwd/group/automount I've been trying different combinations of adding the nsslapd-pluginarg0: 1023 and running ypserv on the same port. Should nsslapd and ypserv be running on the same port when I do the netstat command? -----Original Message----- From: Petr Spacek [mailto:pspa...@redhat.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2014 6:59 AM To: Joseph, Matthew (EXP); Rob Crittenden; d...@redhat.com; freeipa-users@redhat.com Subject: Re: [Freeipa-users] EXTERNAL: Re: NIS Compat issues On 7.1.2014 11:22, Joseph, Matthew (EXP) wrote: > When I run ypcat on the IPA servers it states that ypbind can't communicate. > I started ypbind on the secondary IPA server so now I can run ypcat. > Is running ypbind on the IPA servers necessary?
