When using ypldap, if I
cd /var/yp
make
I am not able to regenerate the YP maps and can't figure out what I am
doing wrong. Here is what I get
# cd /var/yp
# make
===> foretell
couldn't find /etc/ethers
updated netid
yp_master: clnt_call: RPC: Can't decode result
yp_master: clnt_call: RPC: Can't decode result

YP server for domain foretell not responding, still trying
YP server for domain foretell not responding, still trying
Rebooting seems to regenerate the maps. I am saying that because if I
add a user to the LDAP database and do a getent passwd I do not see it
listed. If I reboot the test system and do a getent passwd, I see the
user I added to LDAP before the reboot.
I tried yppoll as follows:
# yppoll -d foretell -h 127.0.0.1 passwd
yp_order: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable
No such map passwd. Reason: Can't communicate with ypbind
But ypbind is running and pf is off.
# rpcinfo -p
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100004 2 udp 806 ypserv
100004 2 tcp 1009 ypserv
100007 2 udp 874 ypbind
100007 2 tcp 727 ypbind
Are commands like yptest usable when ypldap is used instead of ypserv?
What else can I use to figure out where I have made a mistake?
I am unsure as to where to look for this type of information. When I try
it, I get the following:
# yptest
Test 1: yp_match localhost hosts.byname
yp error: No such map in server's domain
Test 2: yp_first
yp error: No such map in server's domain
Test 3: yp_next
Test 4: yp_master
yp_master: clnt_call: RPC: Can't decode result
yp_master: clnt_call: RPC: Can't decode result
yp_master: clnt_call: RPC: Can't decode result
Any clues or help will be much appreciated.
Thanks very much,
Vijay
