We have just updated to SunOs 4.0.3, and have come across some problems with YP. I presume it has to do with the increased security of YP in this release. I have not installed the "Security" install stuff, so we don't use authenticated RPC etc etc. Our YP master is a 3.5 machine. When I try to run ypset (which we need to do, as clients have a habit of binding to machines on the other end of a MAC bridge, overloading the link in the middle), I get an error message: Sorry, I couldn't send my rpc message to ypbind on host wran. from ypset and a message on the console: ypbind: Set domain request to host 192.9.200.50, from host 192.9.200.63, failed (ypset not allowed)! How do I do a ypset? I currently have to kill the ypbind and restart it and hope this it binds on the right side of the MAC bridge... Have I installed something wrong? Is thes a Known Bug?

"Documented in 4.1" In order to be able to do a ypset from any machine you need to start ypbind with the -ypset option. If you only need to be able to ypset on the machine itself use -ypsetme instead. David DiGiacomo, Sun Microsystems, Mt. View, CA david@eng.sun.com
