Hi there, I have a machine on Redhat 7.2 with Kernel Version 2.4.7-10smp. It is giving me the message "Listening NIS domain ..... [FAILED]" THus only root login is possible on that machine. The NIS domain settings are correct and the NIS Host name is also correct. The NIS host is running RedHat 7.0. Network connectivity to this NIS host is also established i.e. ping to it gives valid results. Not only that ping from that server to this machine also shows network connectivity. I checked the /etc/yp.conf. It is proper. Checked /etc/nsswitch.conf that is also correct. Tried to restart ypbind. Tried procinfo -p at the host, that is also showing the ypbind process. Somebody told me that if client is running on RH 7.2 and NIS host on RH 7.0, this doesn't work. Funny thing is that there is another machine with EXACTLY the same configuration but able to get the NIS properly.
Please help asap.
Thank you
