Description of problem: Solaris machines bound to RH8.0 nis server can't see automount directories Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ypserv 2.5.1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.ypset host to one of 2 RH8.0 nis slave servers 2./etc/init.d/autofs stop;/etc/init.d/autofs start 3.ls <automounted direcotry> Actual results: ls hangs Expected results: ls shows files on automounted fileystems Additional info: This only happens on RH8.0 systems. We have 5 RH6.2 nis slave servers that work just fine.
Since the update of our RedHat 7.3 NIS slave server with the latest errata we also had some problems with the solaris clients. The wrong directory gets mounted with automount, and the solaris client hangs in hostname and username resolving. I verified that all maps are the same as on the nis master. The wordaround for us was to reconfigure the solaris clients to use our Tru64 UNIX NIS master and Tru64 UNIX NIS slave server before the RedHat Linux 7.3 NIS slave. However I expect that those Tru64 systems will be replaced by RedHat Linux servers in a while, so this problem has to be solved! The previous version of ypbind which works fine: ypserv-2.5-2.7x The current version of ypbind which creates problems: ypserv-2.8-0.73E Dennis Voetelink ECN
