Jurvis, I followed the link you gave, and traversed the thread, but in the thread there is no hint as to resolution of the problem or anything that points to iptables. Do you care to elucidate, since here you assert that iptables was involved but the reference does not show how you arrived at that conclusion. I am skeptical, since ypcat makes exactly the same system calls that would be made during a call during user authentication; if one succeeds there is no logical reason the other should fail. No additional calls or ports are involved, Please help to educate me/us. - rick -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
