NIS trouble ?

[Christian Meder <meder@isr.uni-stuttgart.de>]

Hi,

we installed recently a PC164LX which was quite smooth.

1. There are some unresolved dependencies with libc5 (ncurses3.0 and gdb).
What is the right way to deal with them ? Ignoring ;-)

2. We don't get any form of ypbind to work.
With ypcat we get the specified map five times. 
Example output:
$ypcat auto.master

auto_import     -rw,soft,intr,nosuid,timeo=15,retry=1
auto_home       -rw,intr,nosuid,timeo=15,retry=1
-hosts          -nosuid,intr,retry=1
yp_all: clnt_call: RPC: (unknown error code); s1 = 8241982542932440179, s2 = 199269559924
auto_import     -rw,soft,intr,nosuid,timeo=15,retry=1
auto_home       -rw,intr,nosuid,timeo=15,retry=1
-hosts          -nosuid,intr,retry=1
yp_all: clnt_call: RPC: (unknown error code); s1 = 8241982542932440179, s2 = 199269559924
auto_import     -rw,soft,intr,nosuid,timeo=15,retry=1
auto_home       -rw,intr,nosuid,timeo=15,retry=1
-hosts          -nosuid,intr,retry=1
yp_all: clnt_call: RPC: (unknown error code); s1 = 8241982542932440179, s2 = 199269559924
auto_import     -rw,soft,intr,nosuid,timeo=15,retry=1
auto_home       -rw,intr,nosuid,timeo=15,retry=1
-hosts          -nosuid,intr,retry=1
yp_all: clnt_call: RPC: (unknown error code); s1 = 8241982542932440179, s2 = 199269559924
auto_import     -rw,soft,intr,nosuid,timeo=15,retry=1
auto_home       -rw,intr,nosuid,timeo=15,retry=1
-hosts          -nosuid,intr,retry=1
yp_all: clnt_call: RPC: (unknown error code); s1 = 8241982542932440179, s2 = 199269559924
auto_import     -rw,soft,intr,nosuid,timeo=15,retry=1
auto_home       -rw,intr,nosuid,timeo=15,retry=1
-hosts          -nosuid,intr,retry=1
yp_all: clnt_call: RPC: (unknown error code); s1 = 8241982542932440179, s2 = 199269559924
No such map auto.master. Reason: RPC failure on NIS operation

Additionally we can't log in with yp which is probably due to this problem.

We tried to compile the stock nis-2.20, nis-3.0 and some RedHat stuff. 
Every time we got the same message.

On a Debian i386 machine we don't see any of these problems (nis-2.20).

Somebody has got a working nis who can help us ?

Greetings,

				Christian

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows, 
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
