Hello everybody again and thanks to for the various answers!
We got ypbind/NIS working on SL7, and it should be out of the box (if leaving
OOTB setup completely untouched). There is a subtle interplay of
NetworkManager, dbus and rpcbind, which makes it, let's say shaky, for a
system with slightly non-standard needs (no graphics or multiple networks).
However iptables (firewall) and SELinux seem to make no trouble in that
context.
I need to confirm all this and will post a reliable analysis later to this
list.
Cheers
Dirk
