Hi,

Are there any known issues with ypbind on SL6 server?
or any other new configuration issues that are showing up as this problem?
Other than ypbind, other network services are ok (nfs, etc)

I have ypserv running on the SL6 machine.
Remote yp clients have no problems binding with this  ypserv.
But a local ypbind is failing to connect!
I hope the pasted screen dump explains the situation.

I have this single line in yp.conf of the SL6 box
ypserver 127.0.0.1

[root@lnx5 ]# service ypserv status
ypserv (pid  2629) is running...

[root@lnx5 ]# service ypbind start
Starting NIS service:            [  OK  ]
Binding NIS service: .....       [  OK  ]

[root@lnx5 ]# service ypbind status
ypbind (pid  6594) is running...


[root@lnx5 ]# ypwhich
ypwhich: Can't communicate with ypbind


There is no clue in system log except this single line:
(NIS server name is missing)

Someone responded to similar problem from me, but I am still stuck!
This worked trivially when before I upgraded from SL5 to SL6.
Thanks for any clue about this.
