[gentoo-user] Ybind problems - doesn't like YP server

[Jim Hatfield]

We have a Solaris based YP server.

On a fresh install I set /etc/yp.conf to:
domain insignia broadcast

and set NISDOMAIN to insignia in /etc/conf.d/domainname.

If I run ypbind -debug I get:

speyburn ~ # ypbind -debug
parsing config file
Trying entry: domain insignia broadcast
parsed domain 'insignia' broadcast
add_server() domain: insignia, broadcast
[Welcome to ypbind-mt, version 1.17.2]

do_broadcast() for domain 'insignia' is called
Answer for domain 'insignia' from server 'panther.internal.local'
leave do_broadcast() for domain 'insignia'
Pinging all active server.
Pinging all active server.

The YP server is correctly identified. I can ping it OK
in another window. However if I do a ypwhich in another
window I get:

speyburn ~ # ypwhich
can't yp_bind: Reason: Domain not bound

It doesn't make any difference if I use the -broken-server
flag.

This was working fine on the machine which failed and I'm
in the process of replacing, and I'm pretty sure I didn't
do any more than the above.
