s10_b69 related NIS issues

I have a s10_b69 related NIS problem for Jumpstart installation: the client doesn't ypbind to the local NIS slave server, and it prompts for user intervention on the console. Therefore, the automatic install becomes an interactice one. What might be wrong?

The sysidcfg file is okay, as it works fine for the 8/04 beta release. Its like for nis is like this:

nameservice='nis' {domainname=bnrottawa name_server='131.213.21.1'}

Also, after rebooting, nis client is NOT binding to the NIS domain, despite the fact that /var/yp/binding/bnrottawa/ypservers exists with the correct slave server's IP, and 'ps -ef |grep ypb" shows ypbind is running with no options. /etc/domainname was setup correctly as well.

I tried 'ypinit -c' before restart network/nis/client:default, it still doesn't bind, and 'svcs |grep nis' doesn't show any problems with it.

But, if I run ypbind with option '-broadcast', it DOES bind to the domain, although complaining it's un-secure.

Is this a known problem or just mine? Any recommendations on how to fix it?

Thanks a lot!

one typo above, it's "nameserver", not "name_server", so the correct one is :nameservice='nis' {domainname=bnrottawa nameserver='131.213.21.135'}sorry for the confusion, if any.

Hello

It seems I have the same problems.

The entrys are correct, but the installation program prompt for manually intervention.

Then when I say next .. next they said me :

Name Service Error ...

sysidcf:

nameservice='nis'{domainname=mittelerde nameserver='192.168.0.12'}

/etc/bootparams:

.............. ns=192.168.0.12:NIS(255.255.255.128)

Just tried the b72 release, and no this problem any more. So I'd rather leave it alone, and no further digging into it for the b69 release.
