Re: NIS problem



I should have been more clear about rpcinfo ---
rpcinfo -p client from the client fails
rpcinfo -p client from the server works but shows only portmapper and
nlockmgr

rpcinfo -p server from the client works
rpcinfo -p server from the server works

Again, the error is when I try to run ypbind on the client:

Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to send; errno = Operation not permitted
Unable to register (YPBINDPROG, YPBINDVERS, udp).

The is no firewall in the system.  I rebuilt the kernel without freeswan,
but no change.  I've been exploring some ipv6 functionality.  I wonder if
that introduced some problem with portmap.

Thanks for your thoughts.
