I recently upgraded from RH 4.2 to 5.1 and installed requisite updated
RPMs. I just had a gander at /var/log/messages and noticed some troubling
entries. Our LINUXBOX gets name service from a SunOS box (OURYPSERVER) and
NFS and mail service from a Solaris box (OURNFSSERVER). The log will be
filled with the following entries repeated numerous times over a
several-hour period:
Jun 24 05:42:27 linuxbox ypbind[313]: ourypserver.xxxx.cornell.edu: RPC:
Timed out
Jun 24 05:42:32 linuxbox ypbind[313]: mkdir: File exists
Jun 24 05:42:32 linuxbox ypbind[313]: Host name lookup failure
Jun 24 05:42:32 linuxbox last message repeated 3 times
Jun 24 05:42:32 linuxbox ypbind[313]: broadcast: RPC: Unable to send.
Jun 24 07:15:47 linuxbox ypbind[313]: ourypserver.xxxx.cornell.edu: RPC:
Timed out
and occasionally something like this:
Jun 25 00:00:45 linuxbox kernel: NFS server ournfsserver not responding,
still trying.
Jun 25 00:00:55 linuxbox kernel: NFS server ournfsserver OK.
Jun 25 00:01:01 linuxbox kernel: NFS server ournfsserver not responding,
still trying.
Jun 25 00:01:31 linuxbox kernel: NFS server ournfsserver OK.
I thought it might be a hardware (ethernet cable?) problem because of it's
intermittency, but these messages were not in the logs prior to the upgrade.
Any comments or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.
Rick.
