similar to: NIS binding probs w/Firewall and SELinux

I am having no luck getting NIS to work on a clean install of CentOS 6. It seems to be an issue with ypbind. I have simple /etc/yp.conf which explicitly sets the server domain myDomain server myServer The service seems to start okay #service ypbind start Starting NIS service: [OK] Binding NIS service: ? [OK] But when I try to use any of the yp services, like ypwhich #ypwhich ypwhich:

Hi All. I am working on bringing back a number of Centos 7 rigs in our student computer lab back online. No change was made to the existing server machine [running Scientific Linux 6] Right now there is one remaining thing to resolve: an inconsistency with the rigs' NIS Clients. I have configured rcpbind and ypbind following guidance from Server World (

I've got a RHEL5 server acting as a NIS/NFS server, and connected one C5 machine just fine. I'm trying to connect another, and for the life of me, cannot figure out why NIS won't bind. NFS works fine. ypbind just hangs. I disabled SELinux and the firewall. I just cannot get it to bind. Ideas? Thanks. Scott

We just updated our configuratiosn to have multiple NIS servers, when we initiated a test of client failover, we were disapointed. It seemed that the only way to get a filaover was to /etc/init.d/ypbind restart. It behaves as indicated in http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5084845 using ypbind-1.17.2-13 on Centos 4.5 / Linux xxxxxxxxxxxx 2.6.9-55.0.12.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Nov

Greetings I'm running an NIS server that I would very much *not* want to be accessible on some of its interfaces. portmap can be instructed to bind to specific addresses using the -h flag, but this seems to break ypbind. ypbind will attempt to find a server by issuing a broadcast rpc request to the local network. When portmap is not bound to INADDR_ANY, it will not reply to these requests.

Hi I use NIS om my network (CentOS4.6). When an update on a map occurs (home directory changed in /etc/passwd for instance), I run make -C /var/yp/ and check the result on a client. On the client I use "ypcat passwd" and find indeed that the update has propagated (the clients run ypbind service). On the client I have configured /etc/nsswitch.conf with : passwd: files nis shadow:

so, i just installed CentOS on our server and set up NIS using the same configuration as on our other server, but the clients' ypbind services complain that although they can find the correct server, the server does not respond to requests. to debug this, i've: * pinged the server using its ip and it's name * ssh'ed to the server using it's ip and name *

Hi I''m trying to ensure ypbind and yp-tools are not installed BUT they one of the rare group of rpms that require each other. I have package { "yp-tools": ensure => absent, require => Package["ypbind"], } package { "ypbind": ensure => absent, require =>

I'm trying to kickstart a Centos 4.1 system with the minimum set of packages. I have no use for ypbind so I'm trying to prevent from being installed, but kickstart/anaconda always insist on its installation (complaining that the package is missing). This is the %packages section of my ks file so far: %packages #-@ dialup kernel grub e2fsprogs lvm2 -slocate -bluez-utils -bluez-bluefw

Hi, My brain is hurting a bit over this one. How does one delete ypbind cleanly from a RHEL6 box? It has a dep of yp-tools. No problem...I add both to the uninstall list in hiera; packages_oel6_absent: <snip> - ypbind - yp-tools SNIP from manifest; $packagesabsent = hiera("${packages_key}_absent",''nil'') if

I'm trying to configure two things on my RH 5 server with dual-boot CentOS 5 (out-of-box) and Windows XP w/SP2 (fully patched) clients: - NIS/NFS: I have managed to get user logins, but all accounts produce Can't Find Home Directory, Using Root! The error logs, when trying to mount any NFS directory, is the server claims permission denied. I've reviewed many web pages and

We use NIS (ypbind) and Kerberos at work for all our Linux and Unix systems. Home directories are mounted via autofs from an NIS map. Everything works just fine as long as all network resources are available (however, things turn ugly when the NIS servers are not reachable). Some users also want to start using laptops and bring them home or on trips to continue working while not at

Hi Did anyone managed to configure RHEL 6 beta to authenticate using NIS? During the installation the option to use NIS as authentication method is disable. When I tried to install with yum, I got the following message: Installed size: 222 k Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/rhel/beta/6/i386/os/Packages/yp-tools-2.9-8.1.el6.i686.rpm: [Errno 14] PYCURL

So I configured my Enterprise 5 server to have NFS configured on specific ports via the NFS Server menu option. Since having done that, I am unable to get my two CentOS 5 workstations to bind via YP. One worked just fine before the port reconfiguration, but broke after. The other never worked fine. NFS works fine on both, but NIS will no longer bind. What do I need to change on the client

Hi, I have both linux and solaris NIS client against a Solaris NIS Server, but my linux box are shamefully slow compare to solaris some sample: on Solaris 5.8: # ypwhich transporter02.domain.com # time id userid uid=36923(userid) gid=36923(u_036923) real 0.0 user 0.0 sys 0.0 on Linux: [root at linux]# ypwhich transporter02.domain.com [root at amsdc2-n-s04taw root]# time

Hello, in our network we have AD (Win 2003) for user authentication under Windows and NIS (CentOS 5.2) for same under Linux: # rpm -qf /var/yp filesystem-2.4.0-1.el5.centos ypbind-1.19-8.el5 yp-tools-2.9-0.1 ypserv-2.19-3 I have written a CGI Script to add new users both to AD and NIS and also to create the home dirs at our NetApp-Filer. Unfortunately some steps still have to be made by hand

I tried searching for (do_ypcall: clnt_call: rpc: timed "do_ypcall" is a NIS error message. (Previous NIS was called "yellow pages"; the "yp" in do_ypcall is a reference to that). Maybe you have "hosts: files nis" in

I was trying to get NIS working today and it seemed that Shorewall was blocking the NIS traffic as the ypbind worked fine on the NIS master (the shorewall server) however a client could not connect as it could not find the domain server. I stopped shorewall and tried again however it still would not connect which should eliminate shorewall. I am not sure that I have NIS set up correctly
