similar to: why would ls, while or ci use NIS?

I just installed centos 7, yum is acting strange, experiencing RPC time-outs. Sometimes when I disable the additional repos (epel and rpmforge) it seems to make things act normal. But not this time (see below). Could I have some misconfiguration? Network glitch? What hypotheses should I be considering? Thanks, Dave [root at localhost ~]# yum repolist repo id

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

Apparently CentOS-7 - Base is failing, what does that mean? How do I contact the upstream for the repo? How do I find a working upstream?

If you have NIS configured, it'll be used by anything that needs to map a uid or gid number to a name, or anything that needs a list of groups for users, among other things. That means (IIRC) that having a crontab implies a NIS lookup, because creating a new session for your user needs to fetch supplementary groups from NIS (even for root). 'ls -l' might also do lookups to

NIS is working fine, at least, for what I expect it to do. What makes you think NIS is involved? What does yum use NIS for? Is there a test command I could use to see

Hai, ? Im just wondering, im installing a bit again, checking my scripts etc. Lots of things most of us know, but just for history and others im typing it out. ? I noticed te following. Lots of things work or dont work base on : ? ?????? hostname - show or set the system's host name ?????? domainname - show or set the system's NIS/YP domain name ?????? ypdomainname - show or set the

Hello listmates, I have discovered a very strange SFTP problem which I can not connect to anything but NIS thus far. See here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/sftp-seems-to-fail-for-nis-accounts-under-openssh-5-x-816020/ http://readlist.com/lists/suse.com/suse-linux-e/38/193419.html Hence the question: is NIS (YP) still in use much anywhere for authentication? Thanks.

Hi. I have for a while been trying to get my samba 2.2.1a PDC to be a NIS master and still maintain the password sync feature, without any luck. Now I made something that seems to work - but I would like to get your input to see if what I do is ok or it is something I should'nt do. 1: Samba uses passwd to sync the password (not yppasswd) 2: cron runs make in /var/yp every 15 minutes to

I seem to have this very odd issue with CentOS 6 WRT NIS. I have taken the package selection that I used with CentOS 5 and basically plopped it into my C6 kickstart file (see below). On C5 this works just fine and I'm able to log in with NIS credentials just fine. However, it looks like on C6 if you use a package selection like this, you also need to specify the yp-tools package as part of

So, now I see why I was doing the fw 2 fw rule. It was for my YP/NIS usage. Does anyone know how I get that to work?

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

Hi all, I believe that I have asked this in one form or another, but I did not see an answer. ( it could be that I missed it ) do please forgive me if I did, but could I ask you all to humor me for a moment. Is there any way to get Samba to use YP ( NIS ) as the basis for user authentication? If not at this time ( as I have not been able to determine that it is

If a host is running NIS (passwd file ends in +::0:0:::) authentication, will dovecot be able to authenticate with auth_userdb = passwd directly and automagically or do you have to do a ypcat passwd > pwfile periodically to generate a passwd file that dovecot can use? ?

I have RHEL5 Server originally configured and installed by me with Firewall enabled, but passing through NFS, Samba, and SSH. I then disabled SELinux. As you all likely recall, I had configured a test environment to get samba and nfs/nis up and running. I got it going, and recently brought it to a production server. After modifying the files on the production server and rebooting, I'm

I am having no luck getting NIS to work on a clean install of CentOS 6. It seems to be an issue with ypbind.

Hi, I have a class to add users to all the host servers. We are in the process to have a coexisting user which belongs in NIS & as well as /etc/passwd. We have NIS clients (yp running) on all host servers. So when running puppet is fails to add or modify user, bcos the user already exists in NIS. Eg: A user pcruise is an existing NIS user. When using useradd or

Hey all. I have a bunch of linux servers, all using NIS to maintain username/password/UID/GID information. I'm trying to make the filesystems browsable from Windows XP, while maintaining correct UID/GID info. It seems this would be really simple, just let the user login to \\linuxmachine with his/her linux username & password, and everything they do happens as them. As you know - no

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:
