We have just bought our first RS6000 and are now trying to hook it up to our network, which consists of machines from SUN, Apollo, Silicon Graphics and Intergraph. Everybody runs under NFS and our YP server is a SUN 3/60 running under SUN 0S 4.0.3. We have some interesting problems when we tried to install NIS (YP). We followed the procedure outlined by the Info-Explorer, configured everything using SMIT, and everything seems to work fine until we restart the system. We keep getting error messages such as: ypbind: cannot register service: RPC ypbind: unable to register(NLM_PROG, NLM_VERS, tcp) ypbind: unable to register(SM_PROG, SM_VERS, udp) ypbind: send error, permission denied .... etc ypbind fails every time when we reboot the system! We can successfully start ypbind if we go into SMIT, start TCP/IP manually, and then manually start NIS client service. Any hint on why we cannot start ypbind properly during system boot up? The same symptoms happen when we try NFS mounts on remote file system. We cannot mount remote directories during system boot up, but can mount them in SMIT or using the "mount" command. /etc/filesystems seem to be updated properly, but our system just refuses to work automatically. Also, rlogin seems incredibly slow when we try to remote login from the RS6000 to other machines on the network. Anybody has similar experiences?
