Do you think the message can't yp_bind: Reason: RPC failure Can't enumerate maps from <master>. Please check that it is run. means that the domain is not set? At least the second line indicates that the Linux host could not figure out the name of the maps (this may be an additional problem, however). The same problem seems to arise when I set up the host as a NIS client: In this case everything is ok but the command "ypwhich -m" gives the error "YP: can't find the master of (null): Reason: Request arguments bad" This error might not be critical when the Linux machine is a client but it is crucial when it should be a slave server. (Since the Linux machine is the only host in its local network, it must be configured as a slave server.) > What's the output of the command > > domainname It gives the correct domainname Cheers, Thomas -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
