I have my fedora box set up to use NIS from a red hat server. When I boot, I cannot log in as an NIS user. Running yptest hangs on test 2. This is after everything appears to have started correctly, no error messages. doing a quick service ypbind restart fixes the issue immediately.
Hi, If you use NetworkManager, it's good idea to put NETWORKWAIT=yes to /etc/sysconfig/network (otherwise it may happen, that ypbind starts before network is ready). Did it help?
Also there is new ypbind-1.20.4-5.fc9 in the Fedora 9 testing repository - with better timing in init script (but if you use NM, you still need set NETWORKWAIT=yes).
Did it help?
Sorry. It was awhile before I could reboot. Yes, things seem to be working ok now.
OK, closing...
