Hi. I just installed FreeBSD 3.3-Release but cannot get 2 things to work. I have 2 machines connected to the LAN, the FreeBSD box and a Linux box. The linux box has 2 nic's and is ip-masq'ing for the FreeBSD box. The network seems set up properly, I can connected to the outside world with the FreeBSD box with no problems and NFS between the 2 machines works great. 1. NIS. The linux box is running ypserv-1.3.6 (according to the rpm -q output). It can bind to itself. The problem is that the FreeBSD box will not connected to the ypserv on the linux box. I have tried letting it use broadcasts, using -S to specify the machine and have tried using only a secure port. ypbind gives no error message, just returns the prompt. ypwhich, however just hangs. Oddly, rpcinfo -p either by itself or rpmcinfo -p localhost also hangs (it seems alot of network apps including telnet and ftp have problems with localhost). /etc/hosts has localhost, the name of the FreeBSD box and the linux gateway all specified. rpcinfo -p <hostname> does give output and it says that ypbind is running. Both systems are using md5 for encryption. Is there a problem with using an linux NIS server with FreeBSD, or is this a local problem? Any ideas? 2. Is there an identd for FreeBSD that understands ip-masq? Thanks in advance, Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
