NIS problems with Potato on Sparc

Hi, I have recently been trying to set up a Sun IPX as a NIS server for a small lab full of Linux machines. However, the installation of the NIS package hangs at the point where it tries to start ypbind. I have seen the same problem with setting up a NIS client on another IPX, but with slink

Re: Current glibc and NIS

I am having some problems with the current glibc from potato. When I log into my UltraSparc running Debian that is a NIS client to an x86 Debian box, I get timeout errors and eventually this causes ypserv to bail on the x86 box. Has anyone else seen this problem? Similar problems here .
