Hi Dave, I think you are correct, the "invalid source port" is indeed unrelated. > You're not very specific. I am guessing that NIS is not working? Can you nudge it into making more error > messages, maybe execute 'ypcat passwd'? Result of '/etc/init.d/ypbind status'? # /etc/init.d/ypbind start SIOCADDRT: File exists Starting NIS service: [ OK ] Binding NIS service: ............... [ OK ] # ypcat passwd No such map passwd.byname. Reason: Can't bind to server which serves this domain The only new entry in /var/log/messages is: Dec 9 11:16:26 hostname ypbind: NIS domain: xxxedout, NIS server: So I was looking in the wrong direction. I tried /etc/init.d/iptables stop, but even without the firewall running ypcat doesn't work (Can't bind to server). No clue still...
