I am attempting to diagnose a rather strange NIS problem occuring on a 930 we have here. From time to time a message such as cannot find /etc/yp/somedomain/passwd.byname: No such map in domain appears on our console (thats not a direct quote, but its the same general idea). The problem is - our 930 is not a server for somedomain. Obviously some poor machine thinks we are, however. Just who this is, and how it learns it, I don't know. I had hoped that logging would tell me something. I do not want to keep a sniffer tied up for a week diagnosing this. I stopped ypserv, created /etc/yp/ypserv.log (which the manual indicates is the log file) and restarted ypserv. So far ... no dice. Nothing has been logged to the file. At least a few matches have occured and one map has been remade and pushed - nothing in the log file. So, the question is does logging really work? If so, what gets logged? thanks in advance. -Scott
