I should have taken a look into /var/log/messages on the YP server, where it says a few times: Oct 12 16:40:27 hostname ypserv[189]: access to master.passwd.byname denied -- client X.X.X.X:2305 not privileged Why does ypbind use TCP ports > 1023? It is possible, that there are no ports < 1024 free, but ypbind never should use ports above > 1023 or am I wrong?
