NIS Server not respondig for domain

[Guillermo_21]

When I reboot the workstation begins to run all good but when arriving at the part of the NIS it sends to an error message "NIS: server not responding for domain "PGE.RDS"; still trying"

and when it appears this error does not reboot the workstation correctly. Please can you help me to solve this problem.
Thanks

Your NIS Server is not responding possibly because there is no NIS server (Master or Slave) on your subnet. You probably want to go ahead and boot even if you can't find an NIS Server:

edit /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs
WAIT_FOR_NIS_SERVER=FALSE
MAX_NISCHECKS=2

You can also use the ypbind/ypset options to bind to a server not in your subnet.


In order to edit this file, you will probably have to boot in single-user and then manually mount /var and /usr.
