Re: FreeBSD NIS client and Solaris NIS server problem...

2005-04-28 Thread Julien Gabel
Hello,

 I'm having a bit of trouble getting my FreeBSD workstation ( 5.4
 PRERELEASE ) binding to our Solaris 8 NIS server. I do not get any
 warnings or errors when ypbind starts up, but if I do a 'rpcinfo
 localhost', it takes a very long time to come back with anything(stays
 in a 'nanslp' state the whole time), and trying to do a 'ypcat hosts'
 ( or an equivalent ypcat query ) times out with the error:

$ ypcat hosts
ypcat: no such map hosts.byaddr. reason: Can't bind to server which
 serves this domain

 if I run rpcbind manually with the -d flag I get the following message:

   $ rpcbind -d
   rpcbind debugging enabled.
   can't get local ip6 address: hostname nor servname provided, or not
 known

 Now, I dont have ipv6 compiled in the kernel, but is rpcbind dependent on
 it?

 Here are the parameters I'm using in rc.conf for nis:

rpcbind_enable=YES
nisdomainname=delta
nis_client_enable=YES
nis_client_flags=-S delta,engr-nis1,engr-nis2

 Any info is appreciated, I would like to access my NFS home directory
 from my workstation :)

Because rpcbind is a dependancy of ypbind, no (real) need to explicitly
enable it... but it doesn't hurt.

I personnaly use a very similar setup at work (Solaris NIS server and
FreeBSD NIS client), and binding point to point the two works great:
 # grep nis /etc/rc.conf
 nisdomainname=domain
 nis_client_enable=YES
 nis_client_flags=-ypset -s -m -S domain,foor,bar
 # /etc/rc.d/ypbind start

If ypwhich(1) don't tell you more on the hostname of NIS server, the
problem may come from the configuration of the server, not the client.

Cool, those additional nis_client_flags did the trick, much appreciated :)
