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
Also wanted to mention that killing ypldap and ypbind and then
restarting them manually also allows me to see the new user. Avoids a
reboot but I am still wondering whether that is the correct way to
regenerate the maps.
Thanks for any suggestions.
