NIS on Debian Alpha
Hi!
I'm trying to get NIS (the client) to work on an Alpha PC 164LX
running a freshly installed hamm distribution. NIS installed without
dependency problems (I will complain about those later). I followed
the HOWTO in /usr/doc/nis/... to set up the NIS client, but
whatever I do, I get this:
root@cruncher:/etc# ypcat passwd
yp_all: clnttcp_create failed
No such map passwd.byname. Reason: Can't communicate with portmapper
root@cruncher:/etc# ps aux | grep port
daemon 3418 0.0 0.2 3144 768 ? S Feb 23 0:00 /usr/sbin/portmap
Am I missing something?? `ypwhich` correctly returns my NIS server on the
local network.
feri.
