NIS error

[Amit Manna_6]

Hi,
When I give a ypwhich command on NIS slave server

I get the following error:

ypwhich: clntudp_create error: RPC_PROG_NOT_REGISTERED

Can any body please help.

[Sanjay Kumar Suri]

ypwhich: clntudp_create error RPC_PROG_NOT_REGISTERED

then ypbind is not running on the client.

Issue the following commandto start all the NIS client processes:

/sbin/init.d/nis.client start

sks

Check with ps if the NIS processes are running. If not, try to start them to see if that works. Perhaps check /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs first, to make sure the NIS client is configured to start.

You might also take a look at /var/yp/log for info on why it isn't responding.

Good luck, Elmar

hi Ammit,

it neverminds you aren't assigning points....

Check that all processes are running on server:

/sbin/init.d/nis.sever - starts following:
ypserv - NIS server
rpc.yppasswdd - controls password file
ypxfrd - transfer NIS map
rpc.updated - update map
keyserv - for secure RPC

/sbin/init.d/nis.client -starts:
ypbind - for binding to a server
keyserv - for secure RPCs

I your case I suggest restart client and server
/sbin/init.d/nis.client stop /start

You should only run ypmake on the master server. When ypmake is run, it rebuilds the NIS maps and pushes them to your slave. Running ypmake on the slaves, will probably mess up your NIS maps on the slaves.
