Hi, this might be a semi-OT question, feel free to flame me off-list...
I've got to setup NIS on a compute cluster. The NIS master server has two network interfaces, eth0 is public and eth1 private. Of course, NIS should be delivered only to the private network (/etc/ypserv.securenets). Apparently there is no way to force ypbind to use the private network if I use the broadcast option (command-line or /etc/yp.conf): requests will be sent out only via eth0 (not even loopback!) and will get stuck. Same for other head nodes - for obvious reasons, the compute nodes are fine. Of course one solution would be to specify ypserver entries in /etc/yp.conf (instead of broadcast), but: can this be done in a more general fashion? (this is where FAI enters the stage: I'm hesitant to add yet another class) Hints welcome.
