Looks like you never set the domainname and then ran ypserv, try it again as follows:
dommainname name-if-nis.domain (this is different that the actual network domain) /etc/init.d/ypserv restart /usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m then if correct CTRL | D /etc/init.d/yppasswdd restart Mark That should do the trick "xing guo chen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 10/12/01 19:58:55: > >Hi, >I have set up portmap for NIS by following the instruction from http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/portmapper.txt > >when I typed ># /usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m >in order to initialize master NIS server. > >I got the following message.
