    Hello,

    I'm having a bit of trouble getting my FreeBSD workstation ( 5.4
    PRERELEASE ) binding to our Solaris 8 NIS server. I do not get any
    warnings or errors when ypbind starts up, but if I do a 'rpcinfo
    localhost', it takes a very long time to come back with anything(stays
    in a 'nanslp' state the whole time), and trying to do a 'ypcat hosts'
    ( or an equivalent ypcat query ) times out with the error:

       $ ypcat hosts
       ypcat: no such map hosts.byaddr. reason: Can't bind to server which
    serves this domain

    if I run rpcbind manually with the -d flag I get the following message:
      
      $ rpcbind -d
      rpcbind debugging enabled.
      can't get local ip6 address: hostname nor servname provided, or not known

    Now, I dont have ipv6 compiled in the kernel, but is rpcbind dependent on it?

    Here are the parameters I'm using in rc.conf for nis:

       rpcbind_enable="YES"
       nisdomainname="delta"
       nis_client_enable="YES"
       nis_client_flags="-S delta,engr-nis1,engr-nis2"

    Any info is appreciated, I would like to access my NFS home directory
    from my workstation :)
