Nis getting unbind

[Jollyjet]

Hi All,

I have a Nis server 11.11 and nis client 10.20

my nis client is getting unbinded automatically (it is getting killed) and it is not getting binded with slave server can you tell what are the possibilities to solve it out and other thing my Nis server is in DNS and my NIS client is not in DNS whether this both have any miscommunication due to DNS.

Hi Jollyjet,

can you look at the nis-server and client, whether they are configured to run both version 2 and 3 for nfs:

ececute on both machines:
rpcinfo -u `hostname` nfs 2
rpcinfo -u `hostname` nfs 3

If both versions are running you should get the following response:
program 100003 version 2 ready and waiting
program 100003 version 3 ready and waiting

If nfs version 3 is not running then you would receive the following response:
rpcinfo: RPC_PROGRAM_MISMATCH; low version = 2, high version = 2
program 100003 version 3 is not available

possibly, the one only understands nfs2 and the other only nfs3

I hope, this helps.

Bye
Ralf

Shalom,

I would suggest the following three steps:

1) Patch the NIS server.
2) Patch the NIS client.
3) Analyze the logs /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log for further clues.
