/etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs configured properly.

You help appreciated.

Usually ticotsord and ticlts errors are caused by RPC. Post "rpcbind -p" output.

Consider Adding a logging and debugging options in /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs in the YPSERV_OPTIONS and KEYSERV_OPTUIONS. Use something like
YPSERV_OPTIONS="-l /var/yp/ypserv.log"
KEYSERV_OPTIONS="-D"
Then check the log file and syslog for additional error details. This may tell you more about what is happening.

Shalom,

Perhaps pull the yp---- configuration from a working system? Preferably an 11.31 system but it may work from another OS level.

I meant to write "rpcinfo -p".

> No log created with option specified
Did you restart the nis server? Maybe it does not get that far to create the log.

How about keyserv? Any additional debugging in syslog?

[Sarjerao]

bash-3.2# rpcinfo -p
program vers proto port service
100000 4 tcp 111 rpcbind
100000 3 tcp 111 rpcbind
100000 2 tcp 111 rpcbind

100000 3 udp 111 rpcbind

Thanks lot for support.
I found the issue and fixed now. Done following >>>>
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop
# /sbin/init.d/autofs stop
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
# /sbin/init.d/lockmgr stop
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.core stop

Then rebuild your /stand/ioconfig file by issuing the command:

# insf -e

Then see if you can get all the RPC daemons to start normally:

# /sbin/init.d/nfs.core start
# /sbin/init.d/lockmgr start
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.client start
# /sbin/init.d/autofs start
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.server start
#/sbin/init.d/nis.client start

Thanks all!!!!!!

I bet you looked at this. That's where I was heading too.
