Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, Mikhail Teterin had to walk into mine and say: > % yppoll passwd.byname > yppoll: no such map passwd.byname. Reason: YP server error You're not even running NIS, are you. You're running NIS+ with one of the servers in NIS compat mode. That's in, isn't it. Do an rpcinfo -p nis1 and rpcinfo -p nis2 and look at the results. It has entries for the NIS+ service, doesn't it. You can't do NIS map transfers from an NIS+ server running in compat mode. This is because you don't have maps in NIS+, you have tables, and updates between master and replica NIS+ servers don't work anything like master/slave transfers between NIS servers. > I understand. However, the admin's response is "we do not support FreeBSD". This isn't a question of supporting FreeBSD. If he had simply told you that they were using NIS+ instead of NIS, you would have known long ago what was going on and wouldn't have had to run around asking all these questions and filing unnecessary PRs. FreeBSD will work fine as a client to an NIS+ server in compat mode. If you're having trouble with slow lookups, the problem is most likely network connectivity or server performance issue. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" ============================================================================= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
