Do you have any firewall setup on the server and/or clients? Disabled all around. What does 'rpcinfo -p' give on the server and clients? Exactly what the referenced URL says should be running. Again, it works perfectly on a test setup. I may start to use tcpdump for more details. /var/log/messages shows nothing. I can ssh back and forth fine between client and server, so Ethernet connectivity works fine.

Re: [CentOS] NIS/YP revelation (I think)
I did discover tcpdump produces an ICMP host hostname unreachable error during ypbind, but does NOT do so when ypbind is not running. I also was reminded the firewall on the server is running, but I had these exact problems when the firewall was disabled. Trying to track down the problem via google, and am open to any responses people have here... Thanks.

I also was reminded to perform ypinit -s server and was reminded again of the Can't enumerate maps error. ypinit -m on the server has been performed numerous times, but still nothing... 'ypinit -s server' is only needed for slave servers. James Pearson ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
