I have a problem setting up YP on an RT with only a connection to a token-ring, while the YP-server is on an ethernet (another RT is functioning as gateway). This is the situation : RT bontenos is connected to the tokenring (134.58.44.2) SUN brutus (YPserver) is on an ethernet (134.58.40.19) RT n_kulcs is serving as gateway between the tokenring (134.58.44.6) and the ethernet (134.58.40.41). Here is the significant part of rc.nfs : if [ -x /bin/domainname ]; then /bin/domainname cs.kuleuven.ac.be fi if [ -x /etc/ypbind ]; then /etc/ypbind; echo ' ypbind\c' >/dev/console /etc/yp/ypset 134.58.40.19 fi The RT boots without any problem, but then i get every ...seconds the following message : yp: server not responding for domain "cs.kuleuven.ac.be"; still trying Another RT, with exactly the same /etc/rc.nfs, BUT with an interface to the ethernet does not have that problem. 2 RS6000 machines with only a connection to the tokenring also have this problem. The strange thing is also that I don't have this problem when I boot the machine without YP, and then manually introduce YP. Anyone who can solve this problem ?????

Yes, rc.tcpip takes care of setting up the right routes, and that is done before rc.nfs (which takes care of yp setup). > Stephan Biesbroeck stephan@cs.kuleuven.ac.be Dept. of Computer Science stephan@Belgium.EU.net Katholieke Universiteit Leuven kulcs!stephan Belgium ....
