HP11.11: Problem loosing NIS configuration after rebooting

[Juan Paez_1]

Hello,

We are having a problem with one of our HP11.11 servers. Every time we reboot the machine the NIS configuration (Domain name is lost). I do not why. We can set it (SAM->Network Configuration->NIS-> Set Domain Name and then enable NIS client. If after that we reboot the machine, NIS configuration is lost. If I go again to SAM->Network Configuration->NIS it will tel me that Domain Name is not set.
Any ideas ??

Thanks,

Juan

I hope your system is not a trusted system. Then you cannot set it. And also it can be 64bit long as per theory, are you following rule.
Go through domainname man page.

Thanks

I would say the configuration file in /etc/rc.config.d/ is being whacked.

This can be by a start/shutdown script. It could be anything.

I'd check permissions on the file and rc.log for a delete statement.

Check /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs setting of NIS_DOMAIN=1, it shall be 1.

Juan,

Also, don't forget to set your NIS domain name in /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs. Be sure you have
NISDOMAIN= set.
