Fedora 10 ypbind error

[Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve]

Hi Dave,

I think you are correct, the "invalid source port" is indeed unrelated.

# /etc/init.d/ypbind start
SIOCADDRT: File exists
Starting NIS service:                                      [  OK  ]
Binding NIS service: ...............                       [  OK  ]

# ypcat passwd
No such map passwd.byname. Reason: Can't bind to server which serves this domain

The only new entry in /var/log/messages is:

Dec  9 11:16:26 hostname ypbind: NIS domain: xxxedout, NIS server:

So I was looking in the wrong direction.

I tried /etc/init.d/iptables stop, but even without the firewall running ypcat
doesn't work (Can't bind to server).

No clue still...
