Hi,

The reason of the warning is -ypset option in /etc/rc.config.d/namesrv file.
This options defines NIS server which your client must connect to.

the servers listed in /var/yp/binding//ypservers are not getting used and hence the error/warning.

Hi Srinu,

Isn't this the same question that you asked in this thread:

http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1054439

Is there something different about these two threads or did you not get all the information you needed from that one?

Regards,

Dave

Hi Srinu,

I'm not seeing the difference. Please be specific - what warning are you referring to? What specific line of output are you asking for clarification on?
