yp service
Hi,
I've got Debian running on one of the office PC's communicating through
NIS with a few other debian machines and some SGI's, one of which is the
NIS server. Recently, I shut down the machine to repair something and,
after rebooting, it looks like the /etc/passwd file has stopped being sent
to this specific machine from the SGI. I can't imagine how any of the
configuration files could have been changed and, during boot up, the
machine claims to be starting ypserv and ypbind. However, it does not
start ypbind, and ypbind cannot be started manually from the console. If I
try to run it directly, it's as if the machine ignores the command, I get
a prompt back but no ypbind process. Does anyone know what could be
causing this or whether ypbind is actually the problem? Thanks much...
