I am in the process of configuring an NIS server and setting up some
client machines. Both machines are pretty much vanilla RH6.1 with
updates. Authentication seems to work OK, since I have no trouble loggin
in to my test client, and the common operational checks seem to work
(i.e., ypcat, ypmatch, ypwhich).
The problem is with yppasswd. When I try to change a password from an
NIS client, I get:
bash# yppasswd
yppasswd: yppasswdd not running on NIS master host
yppasswdd is running on the NIS server:
bash# rpcinfo -p
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100004 2 udp 630 ypserv
100004 1 udp 630 ypserv
100004 2 tcp 633 ypserv
100004 1 tcp 633 ypserv
100009 1 udp 811 yppasswdd
bash# ps ax | grep yppasswdd
7842 ? S 0:00 rpc.yppasswdd
7953 pts/0 S 0:00 grep yppasswdd
What am I missing?
