I have a group of computers running Ultrix 3.0. I am setting up a new VaxServer3500 as a client of the domain SAL. I have 2 microvaxes that are playing the role of server. One of these servers is the master and one is a slave server. The problem is on my new computer I get the error yp:server not responding for domanin SAL. Still trying. This also sometime occurs some of the Vaxstation 2000 clients. The problem is the new system never comes up unless I edit out the yellow pages stuff in the rc.local. The server is running a ypserv and a ypbind deamon. ypwhich returns server name. Any ideas or commands that I can try to learn more about this problem would be appreciated.

We have a SUN 3/150 (ANGER) that is serving (successfully until now ) yp domain eng.uci.edu. When I tried to boot our Ultrix 3.0 Vaxstation II (ENVY) into that domain it responded with ypbind: server not responding for domain eng.uci.edu I eventully set up a new yp domain VAX.eng.uci.edu for it alone. I can ypcat -d VAX.eng.uci.edu passwd from the 3/150 and get the maps, but if I ypcat -d eng.uci.edu passwd on the Vaxstation, the ypcat goes into never-never land, and the ypbind process that it spawns prints messages to the console with the "server not responding" message. As a test, I enabled both machines to be yp slave servers on each others domains. ( They both run ypserv, and have eachothers names in their respective ypserver map) I then tried using yppush to attempt to propogate the maps between the machines. On ENVY, the yppush command gives the message: No response from ypxfr on anger.eng.uci.edu On ANGER yppush passwd.byname hangs. If I do a ypwhich -d eng.uci.edu on ENVY it returns. Domain eng.uci.edu not bound. and the familiar messages on the console reappear that the server for eng.uci.edu is not responding. suggestions anyone? -- look.... even a test signature.....
