Nis problem in hp-ux11.23

[pramod kumar_2]

Hi,

I have NIS clinet working on hp-ux11.23 and NIS server is solaris 9. When ever i try to su user name getting error. but ypwhic and ypcat command is working properly
eg :{veahpbld}/> su aswami
Segmentation fault
{veahpbld}/> ypcat passwd |grep -i aswami
aswami:KjoUOqMRUCjOE:2122:101:aswami:/lhome/aswami:/usr/bin/bash

{veahpbld}/> ypwhich
vea-alpha.vxindia.veritas.com.

I can able to login from other platforms using same user id and NIS server.

>Segmentation fault

Are you running /usr/bin/su?

Hi..
Check whether you are able to login directly to the server..??

yes

{veahpbld}/> /usr/bin/su aswami
Segmentation fault

[pramod kumar_2]

Directly I am able to login to NIS server and even from AIX, Solaris and Linux nis clients I can. Only the problem with hp-ux.
#ypcat passwd |grep -i username
it is showing correct entry.
# ypwhich -m is also showing proper out put.

Your NIS client has not properly binded to your NIS server..

Is Your NIS server resides in the same subnet..?

Both are in same subnet, when i stop and start the nis.client getting following messages

{veahpbld}/> /sbin/init.d/nis.client stop
stopping ypbind
stopping keyserv
{veahpbld}/> /sbin/init.d/nis.client start
starting NIS CLIENT networking
starting up the rpcbind
rpcbind already started, using pid: 791
domainname vea-alpha
starting up the Network Information Service
starting up the ypbind daemon
ypbind will not use the server list available in the file /var/yp/binding//ypservers for binding purpose. Also if ypbind is invoked with -broadcast option, then -broadcast option is ignored.
/usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypbind -ypset
calling ypset with 10.217.44.100
Checking NIS binding.
Bound to NIS server using domain vea-alpha
starting up the keyserv daemon
/usr/sbin/keyserv

Thanks
