[comp.unix.aix] YP on IBM/RT with AIX 2.2.1

stephan@brutus.cs.kuleuven.ac.be (Stephan Biesbroeck) (08/15/90)

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 ?????

Thanks

Simple but crucial question...are you making sure that you have the 
required routes set up on the machine in question before trying to
initialize YP, if not it would account for the server not responding??

Disclaimer: IMHO only, certainly not LCC's nor IBM's.

Yes, rc.tcpip takes care of setting up the right routes, and that is
done before rc.nfs (which takes care of yp setup).
