I've been trying to get nis working on my home network. I'm to the point
where both hosts can mount /home and other directories from the server,
but users still can't log in. In
http://rampex.ihep.su/Linux/linux_howto/html/tutorials/NIS-HOWTO-9.html
it says that If everything is fine (as it should be), you should be able
to verify your installation with a few simple commands. Assuming, for
example, your passwd file is being supplied by NIS, the command ``ypcat
passwd'' should give you the contents of your NIS passwd file. But wwhen
I tried it here's what I got:
# ypcat passwd
No such map passwd.byname. Reason: Internal NIS error
Irritably, the howto doesn't say what to do when ypcat passwd doesn't
work. Other things I've tried (and the ressults):
# /etc/init.d/ypserv status

I found this line in the log:
ypserv[11126]: refused connect from 67.21.58.221:33083 to
procedure ypproc_domain_nonack (fleabite,;0)
Note that 67.21.58.221 is the dynamic IP assigned by my ISP. Is there a
way to get the server to use it's static IP, 192.168.18.1? Is this part
of the problem? I don't know.
The 2 hosts are 192.168.18.11 and 192.168.18.12, and I can ping them,
they can ping the server, and I can telnet into them from the server
wiith no problem (I set up 1 user account just for this) and then su to
root.
From the server:
# ypcat passwd
No such map passwd.byname. Reason: Internal NIS error
From either of the hosts:
# ypcat passwd
No such map passwd.byname. Reason: Can't bind to server which
serves this domain
I'm getting too burned out to think. Can someone help?
