Hi, I'm running AUX 2.0 on a IIx and just brought up NFS and YP. However, when I did this I found that I no longer could use telnet, rlogin, ftp, etc. After an hour or so, I decided must be YP since NFS seemed ok and inetd was running. So I turned YP off in /etc/inittab(I was a YP client). After rebooting, these services worked again. (I'm doing this w/o doc incidentally - don't ask!) So I got hold of some documentation (that might be AUX 1.1) and it says that when you run YP it expects that several files are mapped by YP:services,hosts,protocols,ethers,etc... But my YP server doesn't map these files, just passwd and group. I guess that when the inetd looks up stuff in the services file, it basically does a 'ypcat services' instead of checking to see if YP maps this file and then using the local services file. On Ultrix there is a file /etc/svc.conf that controls this kind of thing but I can't find anything on A/UX that controls this. Is this hardwired? How do you handle YP'ing a file in a heterogeneous environment when it may be different for different machines? I might be able to get my YP server to map the services file, but it would be alot easier to get A/UX to read the local file.... Send mail to me and I'll summarize to this group! edgar@coco.ms.washington.edu thanks!
