problem with NIS SERVICE

[praveen..]

Hi,
i was unable to login using NIS Users, it shows :access denied.

#ypwhich
stilt.mycompany.com
#ping stilt.mycompany.com
64 bytes from 170.118.8.20: icmp_seq=0. time=0. ms
#ypcat passwd
::::::
user's list
:::::


but when i login using NIS server, it asks for password and then it shows : access denied.

now i tried with this:
#/usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypbind
# ypwhich
NIS domain TIMEHP not bound.

# ypset stilt.mycomany.com
Sorry, ypbind on host warbler has rejected your request.

# ypwhich
ypwhich: can't talk to ypbind on warbler or to an NIS server for domain TIMEHP: RPC: Timed out

now it is not showing the NIS SERVER name while using "ypwhich" command,

please suggest soon

# /sbin/init.d/Rpcd stop
RPC daemon rpcd stopped

# /sbin/init.d/Rpcd start
starting the DCE RPC Daemon
/opt/dce/sbin/rpcd

# ypset stilt.mycompany.com
Sorry, I couldn't send my rpc message to ypbind on host warbler.

NOTE: stilt.mycompany.com is my NIS SERVER name
please suggest

I suspect that you started ypbind on your client w/o the -ypset argument. Normally, if the NIS server and clint are on the same subnet, no ypset command is needed because the server responds to broadcast requests.
Man ypbind, ypset for details.

Hi Stephenson,
you are right,I started ypbind on your client w/o the -ypset argument.
can you please tell me the step by step commands with all the arguments, what to do now.

I will be very thankful to you.
thanks

I do not reward laziness. The man pages will guide you.

Praveen,

Maybe you can use SAM instead, it will modify your /etc/rc.config.d/namedsrv file with the correct options.

Also if you do a search on the HP site you'll find a couple of documents which will describe the steps to follow.
