Change nis client hostname issues

Hi All,
I have changed one nis client hostname from old_hostname to new_hostname in /etc/hosts file on the nis server. After changing, "ping" cannot find new_hostname.domain but find the new_hostname (without domian) and the old_hostname.domain. It seems that the IP node is still occupied by the old_hostname. Do I have to reboot the server or run any command to activate the change? What is wrong with this?
Any help is much appreciated.
regards
vlsi

With the command " ypmatch new-hostname hosts.byname" it returns " IP new-hostname" but "ypmatch old-hostname hosts.byname" returns "IP old-hostname.domain". Something is wrong here. How to update the hostname plus the domain information is the key problem. Any help?
best regards

Change NIS client hostname

Dear All,
I am trying to change one NIS client hostname but keep its IP unchanged. What I did is changing the hostname in the hosts file of NIS server and changing the hsotname on the client too. With 'ping' command, the new hostname of the client can be recognized only within the domain, but outside the domain the client is still named as the old hostname, after changing its hostname. I don't know how to activate the change .
Any help would be much appreciated.

NIS Client Issue

I am attempting to set up a Solaris 9 NIS client of a Solaris 8 Master Nis Server.
After configuring the client I run the ypwhich command and I get the following error message: Domain 'domainname' not bound on 'clienthostname'
All other yp commands I try hang.
I have done the following:
On Client:
added NIS domain name to /etc/domainname file.
- added Master NIS server name to client etc/hosts file
- ran ypinit -c
- started ypbind and rebooted.
On NIS Server:
- added client hostname to NIS Server map (Using Make) ran ypinit -c - started ypbind and rebooted.
Client is Solaris 9, Master NIS server is Solaris 8 ---
Any Ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Evan

Shouldn't the domainname be identified in /etc/defaultdomain
and Not /etc/domainname .

Nevermind - its working now.
If anybody is having similiar problems, here's a few things to check
1. Make sure the NIS server is correctly entered in /etc/hosts.
2. cp /etc/nsswitch.nis to /etc/nsswitch.conf
3. Run a ypinit -c and specify your NIS server.
Thanks.

NIS client issues with 10.4.x

Please, will some Apple tech please respond!
I have used NIS client on OS X for quite a while now, and recently bought more than 50 new iMacs for our school user environment. I rely on NIS to work, and it has in previous version of your OS. (Please don't tell me not to run NIS. I do not have time to set up OD right now, and too much of my network already relies on NIS.)
The current x86 10.4 release uses a non-linear startup process that causes certain network services not to come up in the right order, and thus rendering a system inoperable. This doesn't exhibit itself consistently, but once a system is on and operable, the problem will not occur, unless the system deep sleeps or is rebooted.
Help? Can I provide you with anything? Just ask. I will do the best I can. I want to continue loving Apple hardware...

Hi cmoredock;
On this forum you are not talking to Apple. You are talking to other users like yourself.

Solaris nis client can't connect to Windows 2008 NIS Server across subnets

I have been using Microsoft Windows Server for NIS for years to centralize some accounts accessing Solaris and Linux OS.
Windows 2003 R2 Indentity Management for UNIX version of Server for NIS was last working version with Solairs.
After upgrading Domain to Windows 2008 all Solaris clients that are on different subnets fail to bind and connect to NIS servers now.
These servers already were setup using ypinit -c to manually add the NIS servers to connect to and prior to Windows 2008 this worked.
Now no Solaris nis clients on different subnets (no firewall between) can connect , but other Unix/Linux OS connect fine.
Is this a known issue and can we get a resolution as it seems only Solaris is affected?

Hi Mid.Hudson-IT,
Before we begin ,we should ensure we have configured the printer server correctly .
Here is a link for reference of configuring the printer server .
Print server role: Configuring a print server
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775791(v=ws.10).aspx
"I can map all of the printers on the network to the print server as-well as install the drivers correctly and I can resolve the IP and server name via DNS"
From this sentence ,I can`t figure out whether you have tried to ping the server both with the IP adress and name adress from the client ?
If we can ping the print server from the client,we can ensure the connection to the printer server is good .
Then we can try to install the printer driver directly to have a check .In the adress bar of Windows Explorer ,input "\\server name \the printer name"
If we cannot ping the print server ,we should troubleshoot the network issue firstly.
We also can check the event viewer for more information to troubleshoot this issue .
Best regards

Services in JCo RFC not getting started after Changing the client from 001

Hi SAP Stars,
I have recently Installed Quality and Production servers with PI 7.1 on windows 2003, Sqlserver 2005, when I'm doing Post Activities(http://host:port/nwa) in which I try to change the client from 001 to 300(newly created) in JCo RFC(4 services) and start the service it is throwing error when I again change it to 001 client and start the service it is getting started, Could anyone help me in solving this issue same issue I facing in PI 7.1 Quality and Production
Thanks In Advance
Anil Kumar

Hi Anil,
All these JCo RFCs are client specific RFCs.
Please logon your PI NWA
Choose Configuration Management - Infrastructure- JCo RFC Provider
Then, Select the RFC
Under Details -> Choose Repository Configuraton
Change the client name to 300 (your new client)
Save
And repeat the same for all JCo RFC that you want to work for your newly created client.
Please ensure that you are using SAPJSF user & correct password for all these RFCs.
Ideally, these rfcs shuould work now if now please restart your PI (mostly Java alone also do)
I hope this helps you.
Regards
Sekhar

Change in nominal shares issued

Hi gurus,
If there is a change in nominal shares issued e.g share split, how can this be shown in the class master or elsewhere. Currently as I see it, the class master makes an allowance for only current shares in issue - how can I see what the the history is of shares issued?
Regards

Hi Jain, thanks for your prompt answer. What I need to know is my client made a public offering and issued shares. I know the only product that has the transaction type "issue" is 04X and 04Y but this two are bonds not shares. Reading other posts one suggested that the issuing of shares should be manage through product types 04X and 04Y but my concern with this is that the charcateristics of bond are entirely different from those of shares (dividends, splits, etc).
Thanks in advance for your answer
Best Regards

NIS client problem?

I have tried to configure an Ultra 45 as a NIS client to a NIS server in our small local network. If i run all configurations when the host is running (non NIS) it all works fine and it connects to the NIS server for host/user/passwd information etc.
But, when I reboot the host the booting is stopped immediately after writing: "NIS domain name is ...." on the screen.
The screen goes black and the host is not reachable.
Anyone had this problem ?
The Ultra 45 is running Solaris10, but the NIS server is a Solaris 8 host...
/ulf

I'm not sure why you would want the client to not bind to the slave and only to the master. That's the whole point of having slave servers.
Just rerun ypinit -c on the client if you want to change which server the client binds to.
If your slave server is not working right, fix it.

Home directories on NIS clients show "NOBODY" for group and owner

Hi,
I recently changed 10 clients from an old NIS server (running Solaris 7!) to a new one (running Solaris 10).
All my clients log on through NIS and mount their home directories OK, but when you do a ls -l it shows all files as having the owner and group as "nobody".
I am guessing this has to do with the NIS maps, or auto_home or something, but I keep going around in circles.
FROM CLIENT:
$ ls -l
total 14
drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nobody 4 Sep 11 14:46 Desktop/
drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nobody 2 Sep 11 14:46 Documents/
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 136 Sep 11 13:07 local.cshrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 157 Sep 11 13:07 local.login
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 174 Sep 11 13:07 local.profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 33 Sep 11 14:51 test
FROM SERVER
nisserver # ypcat auto.home
nisserver # ypcat auto.master
auto.home -nobrowse
-hosts -nosuid,nobrowse
nisserver # ypcat -x
Use "passwd" for map "passwd.byname"
Use "group" for map "group.byname"
Use "project" for map "project.byname"
Use "networks" for map "networks.byaddr"
Use "hosts" for map "hosts.byname"
Use "ipnodes" for map "ipnodes.byname"
Use "protocols" for map "protocols.bynumber"
Use "services" for map "services.byname"
Use "aliases" for map "mail.aliases"
Use "ethers" for map "ethers.byname"

Darren,
Yes. The clients are Solaris 10 as well. And the domain is the same on both server and clients.
The files should be owned by real users.
If a user ssh's into the server directly, the permissions display properly. But on the clients it is nobody. Other than the permission displaying wrong, I haven't noticed any permission-related restrictions on the clients.

Change NetConnection.client

Hi all,
I'm working on a project in which i use OSMF (2.0). I have a problem: I need to change the client for NetConnection, because the server calls a method when is connected. I figure it out, I wrote that method in the NetClient class, but I don't want to use it like this. I get the client from NetConnection, using NetConnectionFactory -> NetLoader -> StreamingURLResource, but it's to late than (when NetConnectionFactoryEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE dispatches).
So can somebody points me a solution to this issue?
Thank you,
Tibi

Jaime,
I found in another post the information. We have to insert a row: UseLanguageID:1033 in bootstrap.properties file (location: C:\ProgramData\Cisco Systems\Cisco Jabber).
So it worked perfectly.
Thank you very much!

Could not as NIS client

i have configured NIS master in one solaris machine and another as NIS client. i could login as switch user in master server but could not login as NIS client in client machine
error comes like this : invalid username

hello there,
we are having a similiar error when we have our interfaces running...

We know that XI_RFC_Receiver is a communication channel that is defined in the integration directory. We see that there is a parameter Maximum connection on the RFC channel that is set to 10. We are thinking of increasing this value to 12 or 15 or 20. Do you know the the impact of changing this parameter?

Router reports garbage characters for Mac's DHCP client hostname

I've got a Linksys wifi router giving nice wireless access to my 17" powerbook (OSX 10.3.9). But when I look at the DHCP active IP table, this one (and another Mac I have on the network) both show up with garbage characters on the "client hostname" even though I have the "DHCP client Id" field filled in in the Network, TCP/IP system preference pane. How do I get the router to see my client's name?
Mike

Might help if you told us what the "garbage" was. It
might help indentify what it relates to because it's
highly unlikely to be truly random. It's more likely
to be based on the client's MAC address.
ok. It is, exactly: ¸#Ð„ª
In any case, DHCP client ID and hostname are not
related, so you might be out of luck depending on
what the Linksys is doing.
ah! Sorry - I thought that's what it wanted. So, where on my machine do I set the client hostname? Where does a router grab this info from? I've got a PC connected to this thing which does report its name correctly.
Thanks,
Mike
