How to register RPC programs?

Ben Li — Fri, 25 Aug 2000 23:55:16 GMT

When I reboot the NIS+ server machine (Solaris), it display a message like following:
: RPC programs not registered, ...

That host is the one which have trouble to login NIS+ users (as I posted days before).
How to make the RPC programs registered?

Thanks in advance.

RPC programs are registered by virtue of being listed in the /etc/rpc file (its the equivalent of /etc/services file for inet services)

you can verify that rpc services are properly set up on your machine with

# rpcinfo -p hostname

it should report all the programs that are registered... if a program that should be registered is not, eg. nisplus, then you might want to look at your set up of nisplus.

Good luck

When I run the rpcinfo -p command, it comes like below. I don't know how to see this.

You will note that on the list you do not have rpc.nisd listed as a registered program which means that it is not running.

On the solaris box, check the /etc/rc2.d/S71rpc file to see if all the conditions required for NIS+ are met. I seem to remember you are required to have a file called /etc/.UNCONFIGURED

then run:

/etc/rc2.d/S71rpc stop ; /etc/rc2.d/S71rpc start

it should then start rpc.nisd (check with ps command) and rpcinfo -p should also display it.

Good luck

Dear Kofi,

Please check your NFS deamons

In HP-UX

#ps -ef|grep nfsd

if it does't show any nfs deamons

configure it through the following

1.Edit /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf & make

NFS_CLIENT=1
NFS_SERVER=1
2./sbin/init.d/nfs.server start
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start
