Hmph. Changing the term based on usage... Well, lets see: bradley:~# ypbind -d parsing config file Trying entry: domain mycompany.com server bradley.west.mycompany.com parsed domain 'mycompany.com' server 'bradley.west.mycompany.com' add_server() domain: mycompany.com, host: bradley.west.mycompany.com, nobroadcast, slot: 0 [Welcome to ypbind-mt, version 1.7] ping host 'bradley.west.mycompany.com', domain 'mycompany.com' ypbindproc_domain_2_svc (mycompany.com) trylock = success ping host 'bradley.west.mycompany.com', domain 'mycompany.com' Status: YPBIND_FAIL_VAL ypbindproc_domain_2_svc (mycompany.com) trylock = success ping host 'bradley.west.mycompany.com', domain 'mycompany.com' Status: YPBIND_FAIL_VAL Pinging all active server. ping host 'bradley.west.mycompany.com', domain 'mycompany.com' Pinging all active server. Looks like progress, but ypwhich still says "can't yp_bind: Reason: Domain not bound". And ypserv continues to show nothing beyond the startup stuff in its debug output. I also doublechecked /etc/hosts and the machine is able to ping both of the addresses it lists there. (It's a dual-NIC server. One address is on the name bradley.west and the other is bradley.east, so there shouldn't be any confusion there.) > That might take care of part of the problem.
