ypbind init script -eq 100 flag
 

OS = Fedora 8
ypserver configured and working
to bind a new client I have experienced ypbind failing
checking config all files – see no problem
to run commands
service ypbind start
I get
Setting NIS domain: [ OK ]
Starting NIS service: [ OK ]
Binding NIS service: [ FAILED ]

so in starting ypbind with command
/etc/init.d/ypbind start or restart
I see the same failure
with the ypwhich command
I get a yp in not bind error (not exact error terminology),
below I have entered the tail end of the /etc/init.d/ypbind init script
please look at line numbered 141
so the question is “what do the flags -eq 100 mean”?
Also is this “&& stop” shutting down the ypbind service?
I have found if I comment this line out ypbind does work but
reports FAILED during boot up and using the command
service ypbind start or restart.
I have researched and cam up empty.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
