Re: Fedora 10 ypbind error

Is NetworkManager running? Try turning it off. Of course, if you were using it to control networking, uncheck 'controlled by NetworkManager' first. then restart ypbind. By bizarre coincidence, I had the same problem on a new install of fc9 late yesterday afternoon, killing NetworkManager has fixed it for me.
