I'm running the binary snapshot from July 31, 1994 and I'm trying
to get yp to work properly. I'm running my NetBSD machine on our
local net. In the past I was able to get yp up and running by
copying the /var/yp/binding file from my local sun and rebooting.
bachesta:361> ls -l /var/yp/binding/
total 2
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 14 Jul 29 06:28 tera.com
My "domainname is "tera.com"
bachesta:362> domainname
tera.com
I checked for ypbind and it _is_ running:
bachesta:360> ps -auxww | grep yp
root 49 0.0 0.0 76 248 ?? Ss 7:32AM 2:36.67 ypbind
When I do a ypcat hosts I get the following message:
No such map hosts.byaddr. Reason: Can't bind to server which \
serves this domain
Doing a ypwhich gives me this:
can't clnt_call: Can't communicate with ypbind
Has anyone else been succesful in getting yp up and running? Am I doing
a "bonehead" maneuver?
Also on a _possibly_ unrelated topic I have noticed that since
NetBSD 1.0A my machine will access the disk every 2-5 seconds when
the machine is idle. It's kind of irritating to hear it. I never
noticed this before. I'm curious if anyone else has observed this.
My machine is an _old_ 20 Mhz 386 with 14 Megs of Ram and two ESDI
drives on a Western Digital Controller. Does anyone know whats accessing
the disk. How can I find out?
Thanks,
