Hi All Many folks use this? Our NIS master server was until a recent drive crash a 3.5 stable machine.
NIS worked OK but for ypserv intermittently core dumping and being unable to push maps to slave servers. I got around this by making the slave servers pull their maps more often. The error when pushing maps to the slave servers is still there on 4.6 as is the intermittent core dumping of ypserv. Here's the error when pushing maps: ppush: xxxx.sanbi.ac.za xxxx.sanbi.ac.za xxxx.sanbi.ac.za: couldn't create udp handle to NIS server: RPC: Unknown host How best to troubleshoot this? I've tried putting the slave servers in /etc/hosts to no avail. The slave servers are both Irix, one 6.5.8m the other 6.5.17m Anyone else use the FreeBSD NIS server stuff? It seems to not have changed much in a long time...
