When I try to run ypbind on a diskless workstation (root on the NIS server mounted via NFS, eth0 configured via RARP, a 16M swapfile on a vfat partition, 24Megs of RAM, i586 CPU at 100MHz) with the -ipc option (the man page says it is necessary on a NFS-root filesystem) on tty1 appears "neigbour table overflow" two times, then the script says it can't talk with ypbind. I tried to run ypbind manually with -ipc and -debug options and this is the output: neighbour table overflow neighbour table overflow Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to send; errno = No buffer space available unable to register (YPBINDPROG, YPBINDVERS, udp) :No buffer space available
It seems that this is an RPC-specific problem because I get the same error when I try to run an application that uses RPC.
shouldn't be a problem with ypbind. the kernel messages are harmless. the machine seems to have to memory available. if this is still a problem, reopen this bug with more information.
