thanks for the help

It depends on which distro you have; do you know the name/version?
IF you can get to the cmd line you can use
Otherwise, check your Install media or watch the boot process carefully from the top; it should tell you there.
That screen dump looks like RHEL/Centos, but it could be something else.

The YPBIND issue is because its looking for a remote NIS based authentication server eg http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/w...onfiguring_NIS.

Many distros use the chkconfig cmd http://linux.die.net/man/8/chkconfig to set the services to start at boot time.

monojeffrey,

The service that is holding you up is ypbind, located at /sbin/ypbind. It is the client service for NIS. It can be started different ways depending on your configuration. You will probably have to use a rescue CD, and boot from it, make the necessary changes, and then reboot again. ypbind can be started from either the /etc/rc.local file and/or chkconfig. You will also want to comment out any information in the /etc/yp.config file such as domainname and servername. This is assuming you don't want to use NIS. If you intend to use NIS, you will want to correct any inforamtion that may be incorrect in these files, such as servername or domain name.

I entered into rescue mode , as you said c couldn't find the files (configs) to edit and i have taken the info about the distro

is it possible to edit the configs and make changes to the files (through which we can enable specific services for each runlevels
for
example ,In init 2 certain services we can start additionally
and in init 3 , we should be able to stop some services

When you entered rescue mode (assuming this is a Red Hat based distro from the looks of the images) did you before you took the screen shots? This takes the actual installed system and mounts it at /mnt/sysimage for editing. In rescue mode, when it dumps you to the shell, I am pretty sure you will be missing the specified system files because the resuce mode will not perform those options (such as: NIS functions, etc)

What is the solution to stop Yp (NIS) and to restore the server to normal running state
am using Red hat 5

Once you perform the chroot, you have to find out what is starting the ypbind service and stop it. It could be many things or a combination of several things. Check the /etc/rc.local to see if ypbind is starting there (there will be a line with /sbin/ypbind). You can also edit the /etc/yp.conf file and remove the statement that defines the domainname and the NIS server. You should also be able to access chkconfig from here.

if ypbind is on, you should see:
