domain reshape.com broadcast
in /etc/yp.conf
Apparantly ypbind never finds a server, even though there are 2 on the same subnet. I ran ypbind -debug and it seems to get RPC timeouts when it broadcasts for a server. A "ypwhich" command fails after about 90 seconds since ypbind eventually exists once it can't find a server.
My RHL 7.2 - 9 clients have no trouble with the same yp.conf config.
The NIS servers are both Solaris 8 with Sun's stock NIS ypserv.
If I change yp.conf to be
ypserver 10.X.X.X1 ypserver 10.X.X.X2
It does bind, but *very* slowly. NIS lookup is extremely slow. If not for nscd, it would make the whole system unusably slow.
And yes, I know that "broadcast" isn't the safest thing in the world, but it's right for this environment.
Anybody have any clues on this?
