Dear SL fellow users (admins?),
I installed SL7 yesterday from the standard DVD in "Computing node" flavour.
"yum update" ran correctly, then I needed YP/NIS. Network configured and
working (one if out of six activated). Connection from and to my new host
working correctly.
$ yum install ypbind yp-tools
$ service ypbind start
$ service rpcbind restart
$ ypcat passwd | wc
No such map passwd.byname. Reason: Can't bind to server which serves this domain
0 0 0
$ rpcinfo -p
program vers proto port service
100000 4 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 3 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 4 udp 111 portmapper
100000 3 udp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100024 1 udp 36574 status
100024 1 tcp 51821 status
There should be some lines with "ypbind" though!
journalctl yields a line
Jan 06 13:03:40 marcta3 ypbind[5780]: NIS domain: cppm, ypbind not registered
with rpcbind.
I ended up disabling SELinux (/etc/selinux/config, reboot) to exclude any
interference, but no change.
I continue my investigation, but in case this rings a bell (or if anybody can
report successful installation of SL7+ypbind), I would be grateful for any
hint or idea of additional analysis/logfiles.
Cheers
Dirk
