I have a NIS client that has moved to a new building with a new network address.
I added the IP to the hosts.allow, opened the firewall, and added it to the securenets, and the yp/hosts file.
The client ypbind is successful, but yp doesn't work. I can't login at all.
Code:
# /etc/init.d/ypbind restart
Shutting down NIS service: [ OK ]
Starting NIS service: [ OK ]
Binding NIS service: [ OK ]
I try to ssh, and I get user does not exists.
On Client:
yptest fails with:
Code:
ypcat passwd
nickname file /var/yp/nicknames does not exist.
No such map passwd. Reason: Internal NIS error
[root@client ~]# su me
su: user me does not exist

On Server:
Let's pretend the client IP is 10.10.10.10
hosts.allow:
iptables:
Code:
-A INPUT -s 10.10.10.10 -d 0/0 -j ACCEPT
securenets:
yp/hosts:
Code:
10.10.10.10 fqdn.client.com client-alias
Did I forget something? I'm baffled. I've never had a client bind to the server but not work.
