Hello,


Have you tried to install the lastest networking patches for this server (rpc, ARPA, login, etc) ?

This could be a good start point.

Additionally, when are you recieving this erros ? Are you recieving the error with all the users?

Best regards,


Marco

The error seems to be trying to say that some NIS network service is not available. (YP = "Yellow Pages", an old name for NIS)

If your system is not supposed to use NIS, edit /etc/nsswitch.conf (or use SAM, category "Network/Name Service Switch") to stop all useless attempts to use NIS. If /etc/nsswitch.conf does not exist, the system is using HP-UX "factory defaults": you can find some example nsswitch.conf files as /etc/nsswitch.*, find one that matches your setup and copy it to /etc/nsswitch.conf.

If you are using NIS, start with "rpcinfo -p". One or more yp* services should be listed in there, depending on whether this machine is a NIS client or a NIS server. ("ypbind" for NIS clients, "ypserv" and maybe "yppasswdd" for a NIS server)

Possible problems:
- ypbind not running (on a NIS client)
- ypbind running but cannot connect to a NIS server, maybe a network or configuration problem
- ypserv not running on a NIS server
- the entire NIS server host not running?
