The following reply was made to PR misc/12607; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Cyrille Lefevre <root@gits.dyndns.org> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: misc/12607: System crashes after boot, portmap endlessly forks with getport(ypbind), /proc and file tables filled up Date: Tue, 9 May 2000 07:38:15 +0200 (CEST) Environment FreeBSD gits 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #15: Tue May 9 00:32:14 CEST 2000 root@gits:/disk2/4.0-STABLE/src/sys/compile/CUSTOM i386 Description I got the same problem while testing NIS services. I disabled all of them except that I forgot the nisdomainname=some.domain in the /etc/rc.conf file. after that, every time I try to start the portmapper (portmap -v) the machine hangs w/ proc table full. it's impossible to do a killall portmap or anything else, just reboot the soft way if possible or the hard way. How-To-Repeat just put a nisdomainname=some.domain in /etc/rc.conf w/o enabling any NIS services. enable the portmapper. reboot your system and wait a few moment. if nothing happen, just try to use one of the rpc services (of course enabled in /etc/inetd.conf). it seems not possible to unset the NIS domainname once sets using domainname "" or the equivalent sysctl -w kern.domainname="". you need to reboot. Fix don't set a NIS domainname w/o using NIS services. -- home: mailto:clefevre@citeweb.net work: mailto:Cyrille.Lefevre@edf.fr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
