Looks normal (except for the strange "file exists" message): # /etc/init.d/ypbind status SIOCADDRT: File exists ypbind (pid 3140) is running... > Is rpcbind running (/etc/init.d/rpcbind status)? Yes: # /etc/init.d/rpcbind status rpcbind (pid 2828) is running... In the meantime, I ran "yum update portmap" which got a new version of some rpc package, but it didn't make a difference. > Also check the logs on the server side for any unusual entry mentioning this problem client. Nothing. I checked both the nis master and the secondary server. > I am running fc9, but I doubt this has changed. I had fc9 on this very machine with NIS working just fine, with exactly the same yp config. Thanks for the suggestions!
