In my case the IP is configured via /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 using the IPADDR variable. BTW: I used the graphical tool to enter the information, but it made a mess of the netmask (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=475419). I corrected this by editing the ifcfg-eth0 file directly. > > Other than that I didn't really do much to configure the machine. > > Wild guess: How does your /etc/yp.conf look like? I added two lines at the end (these are the only non-comment lines): domain xxxxxxxx server xxx.xxx.gov domain xxxxxxxx server xxx.xxx.gov > Do you have NISDOMAIN set in /etc/sysconfig/network? Yes, that's the one line I added to that file: NISDOMAIN=xxxxxxxx I.e. it looks just like your file. > On my machines, which are using NetworkMangler, > /etc/yp.conf is the default yp.conf (== everything commented out == > effectively empty), but NISDOMAIN is set in /etc/sysconfig/network OK, that's different, but I don't want to experiment anymore now that it is working. I don't need NetworkManager. The machine is part of a cluster and never moved around (I gather NetworkManager helps if you move between networks a lot.)
