ypinit is working fine for me without the above change. Can you tell me more about the ypserver and what ypserv version it has running? Florian La Roche I ran into the same problem. By using strace, I discovered yphelper was polling the first system listed in /etc/hosts, regardless of the NIS master passed to it on the command line. After I moved my NIS master to the first line of /etc/hosts (on the client machine), yphelper ran just fine. hth, -Doug on alpha and i386 machines rpm -q ypserv ypserv-1.3.9-3 /usr/sbin/ypserv --version ypserv - NYS YP Server version 1.3.9 (with securenets) I had the same yphelper failure, but was able to run "/usr/lib/yp/ypinit -s master_host" with no problems after flipping the comments around as detailed above. I was using the same ypserv version as listed above. Tim I have the same problem between two RedHat 6.2 servers. I think the problem is mainly at the master server. When I pointed my slave server to an SCO OpenServer host (with NIS enabled), I indeed was able to configure the slave. But the same slave pointing to a RedHat 6.2 host (configured as a NIS master) would only generate the errors indicated in this report (namely, Can't enumerate maps from $MASTER. Please check that it is running.) It seems that this error has been reported/discussed on the Web for some time ( I did some browsing looking for a solution). When is it going to get fixed ? FYI bug 26362 is also dealing with this issue (same state on 6.2 servers ypwhich workaround functions yphelper --maps doesn't) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 26362 *** If anyone can reproduce this right now, please contact me. |
Problem occurs on i386 and alpha when trying to set up a slave server on executing the command ypinit -s hostname.hostdomain always get the error Can't enumerate maps from $MASTER. Please check that it is running. The script ypinit contains the lines # maps=`ypwhich -m | egrep $MASTER$| awk '{ printf("%s ",$1) }' -` maps=`$YPBINDIR/yphelper --maps $MASTER` but yphelper is broken The commneted out line is also broken and as an extra $ after master If this is changed to maps=`ypwhich -m | egrep $MASTER | awk '{ printf("%s ",$1) }' -` # maps=`$YPBINDIR/yphelper --maps $MASTER` and /usr/sbin/rpc.ypxfrd is manually started on the host machine then a slave server can be initialised
