Similar problem here (with slink); sparc client won't bind to x86 server.
I have to run ypbind -broadcast manually.

Similar problems here . but with slink.

As a workaround I commented out the server entry in yp.conf. Now
it seems to work but at boot time the sparc box has to broadcast for
the server  :-/

The last upload of libgmp2 did not compile correctly and the old problem
reoccured. Download and install the libgmp2 from
http://xia01.kachinatech.com/~bcollins/ and everything will be ok. I'll
try to get an NMU uploaded today.

Problems with the new ssh package.

1999-07-28 Thread Nagy Attila
Hi,

I've just upgraded the ssh packages and the dependant ones (ssh version
1.2.27-2) to our debian potato (sparc).
The problem is:
if i do ssh to the server it works fine, but if i want to ssh to a
_remote_ host from the server it fails.
I did an ssh -v host from the sparc server and got:

k2:~ $ ssh -v hostname
SSH Version 1.2.27 [sparc-unknown-linux], protocol version 1.5.
Standard version.  Does not use RSAREF.
k2: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
k2: ssh_connect: getuid 1000 geteuid 0 anon 0
k2: Connecting to hostname [ip] port 22.
k2: Allocated local port 1023.
k2: Connection established.
k2: Remote protocol version 1.5, remote software version 1.2.26
k2: Waiting for server public key.
k2: Received server public key (2048 bits) and host key (1024 bits).
k2: Host 'helka.iif.hu' is known and matches the host key.
k2: Initializing random; seed file /md0/home/dolgozo/bra/.ssh/random_seed
k2: Encryption type: idea
k2: Sent encrypted session key.
Connection closed by remote host.

While from another machine it works fine... Do anybody know the answer?
Thanks.

ps: the problem is not from the big (2048 bit) public key, i tried with
another host and got the same.

You can install over the network, I do all of my sparc installs that
way (except when I am testing CDs).  There should be instructions in
the sparc install manual (available online).

What kernel version are you using?

Same problem over here with a Sun IPC NIS client trying to connect to an
SGI IRIX 6.4 NIS server: ypbind hangs. I've tried to supply the NIS domain
and the NIS server in /etc/yp.conf, but with the same result. After
putting an "exit" at the first line of /etc/init.d/nis I was able to boot
properly, but without NIS. Starting ypbind by hand sometimes helps when
you start it twice: the second ypbind process is sometimes able to
communicate with the server.
