Hi,

I have a master NIS server and several slaves. the clients of one of
the slave servers are not getting the passwd map changes, even after
starting and stoping ypbind or restarting the client or the nis slave.

The maps on the nis slave is ok and current. When you do a ypcat
passwd |grep someuser on either, the user's info on slave is current
but nto matching on client. I've checked all the settings and nothing
seems out of order. The machines can see each other fine, traceroute,
ping.... The client is bound to the slave when I issue the ypwhich
command and I see to related errors in the logs. Other pertinant
files like /var/yp/securenets and such all check out ok.

This issue is the same on ALL of the clients of this particular slave
server. I'm starting to think that I'm in the Twilight Zone.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Tom
