All the machines are FC8, the host and all the nodes. I'm just setting this up for the first time and no, none of the machines are working with ypbind - well with the exception of the head node.

There is no /etc/defaultdomain because the startup script assigns the domains to each machine. I can try creating this file anyway but I don't believe it would affect anything.

yp.conf =

domain node1 server 192.168.0.2

The domain name changes respectively for each node.

Yup the head node is there, heres /etc/hosts

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 node1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
192.168.0.2 head.node
#192.168.0.253 node1
192.168.0.252 node2
192.168.0.251 node3

On the nodes ypwhich returns:

[root@node1 ~]# ypwhich
ypwhich: Can't communicate with ypbind
[root@node1 ~]#

which is to be expected because ypbind wont start

On the master ypbind is running fine so it returns:

[root@head home]# ypwhich
head.node
[root@head home]#

The nodes respectively show something similar to this:

[root@node1 ~]# domainname
node1
[root@node1 ~]#

And the master shows:

[root@head home]# domainname
head.node
[root@head home]#

ypbind - multiple instances starting

I have built this Solaris 10 server, uses NIS. When the server starts up, two instances of ypbind start. This prevents the server from binding to any domain. The SMF in turn prevents any other network services (sshd and the like) from starting up. Has anyone seen this problem before?

NAME

       ypwhich - return name of NIS server or map master

SYNOPSYS

       ypwhich [ -d domain ] [ -Vn ] [ hostname ]
       ypwhich [ -d domain ] [ -t ] -m [ mname ]
       ypwhich -x

DESCRIPTION

       ypwhich	returns  the  name of the NIS server that supplies the NIS services to a NIS client, or which is the master for a map.	If invoked
       without arguments, it gives the NIS server for the local machine. If hostname is specified, that machine is queried to find out	which  NIS
       master it is using.

OPTIONS

       -d domain
	      Specify a domain other than the default domain.

       -t     This option inhibits map nickname translation.

       -m mname
	      Find  the  master  NIS server for a map.	No hostname can be specified with the -m option.  mname can be a mapname or nickname for a
	      map.  If mname is omitted, ypwhich will produce a list of available maps.

       -x     Display the map nickname translation table.

       -Vn    Version of ypbind(8), V2 is default.

FILES

       /var/yp/nicknames
	      map nickname translation table.
