nis: a problem with yppasswd and a question about ypcat shadow
Package: nis
Version: 3.9-6
Severity: normal
1.
The client seems to observe that yppasswd is running, but fails to get
it when it have to. Or do I misunderstand the following output:
$ ypwhich
sitvanitGateway
$ rpcinfo -u sitvanitGateway yppasswd
program 100009 version 1 ready and waiting
$ rpcinfo -p sitvanitGateway | grep -A2 yppasswdd
100009 1 udp 600 yppasswdd
600100069 1 udp 603
600100069 1 tcp 605
$ yppasswd
yppasswd: yppasswdd not running on NIS master host
$
Are those 600100069 numbers related to nis? Why are they much different
from the other services numbers?
2.
Does the following response to ypcat shadow expected?
$ ypcat shadow
No such map shadow. Reason: No such map in server's domain
$
Is this message is another way of saying `permission denied'?
I believe that a map shadow is there. Should I add a
shadow shadow.byname
line to /var/yp/nicknames?
