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;

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?

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

Look over on http://docs.sun.com for the NIS guide for your version of Solaris.

Sync error: Uploading records failed: "client issue: request body too large"

1328917629619 Sync.Engine.AdblockPlus DEBUG Uploading records failed: "client issue: request body too large"
This happens from 2 Win 7 computer and 1 Win XP computer sync'd. Without the Add Block Plus being sync'd everything works.

Hi!
That's a problem with the Add Block Plus sync engine. It seems that they have issues on their servers.
Try to ask the same question in their forum: https://adblockplus.org/forum/
Good luck!

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.

NIS client howto?

Is there a (current and accurate) howto available for setting up an xserve running 10.5.5 (patched up to today) as an NIS client with automounted nfs home directories?
I have a large network of linux and solaris machines, need to add this one xserve box to it in some useful way. Some of the NIS tools appear to exist on the box ('ypwhich' for example, but running it just hangs) however all the instructions I've found on the internet are either for earlier versions of the OS or contain wrong information or references that don't appear to match this version of the OS.
If NIS doesn't work I'll take AD instead but it looks like the concensus on the net is that AD integration is broken anyway.

I found the failure by my self...
The keyserv itself has been replaced... I copied this file from an identical maschine and everything works fine.
I hope this helps someone...

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.

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?

Could not as NIS client

hi
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
plz suggets this

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?

Historical Reporting Client issues

Hi,
Cisco Unified CCX Administration - HA Setup
System version: 8.0.2.11002-3
Supervisor PC:
Windows XP SP3
I've client facing some issue with HRC. He seems duplicate entries for few of the agents. He can recall those entries were earlier added/deleted from UCCX but still sees it in HRC.
For example: Agent1 has two entries in HRC. AGENT1 and Agent1. The valid entry is Agent1 as configured in CUCM. The other entry (AGENT1) is not visible anywhere in CUCM or UCCX (Active/Inactive agents).
There are 4 HRC users and they all see the duplicate agent entries.
Another issue is that while running Agent summary or some other report for one of those duplicate agents, HRC throws following error. We've tried putting Agent1 and AGENT1 both entries in HRC but same issue. We know the Agent1 is taking regular calls and there should be reports for that agent. The error is:
"There were no report data to view in the data range selected. Please select a different date/time and try again"
Same agent, when trying to pull in the Agent Summary or some other report for March 2011, HRC throws the follwoing error:
"A runtime error occurred while executing the query. Please check log for more details"
I was suspecting Bug CSCtc79010 but as per the release notes for UCCX version client is running this bug is fixed in that version.
Not sure if Bug CSCtj88620 is causing some issue. The problem description in the bug doesn't match exactly.
I've already done the following but all the above mentioned issues remain there:
1) I've verified the configuration in CUCM and UCCX. The Agent1 is only visible, there is no entry for AGENT1.
2) Disabled/Enabled the UCCX DB Synchronization.
3) Un-installed the HRC on a PC, deleted the HRC folder in Program files and re-installed by downloading the file from UCCX Server directly.
FYI, all other agent reports are being run fine, not suspecting any admin rights/services issue in Supervisor PC.
Would appreciate if anyone can give some more pointers what else can I check?
Thanks in advance,
inner_silence

My issue is on UCCX v7.0.
HRC shows duplicate entries for few agents.
There are duplicate agents, due to changes made in its number or its name. (view image).
There is some file in the server UCCX to save the information to agents after being modified or deleted?
Thanks a lot.

Multithreaded client issues

I have a multithreaded client that maintains a pool of connections to the Oracle server. Each thread grabs a connection to issue selects, updates and inserts to the DBMS. Under Win 2000, an access violation occurs in msvcrt.dll when the second or third thread exits (during the OS call to _endthreadex). This problem does not occur under WIn NT 4.0.
Are there any multithreaded issues related to development on 2000 vs NT? Where can I read more about writing multithreaded OCI clients in general?
The Win 2000 box is current on Windows 2000 service packs, Visual Studio SPs, and the MS SDK. I'm using OCI V8.
Thanks,
Ben

if your question is the same as another post up in this thread, you just need a single environment handle. OCI will automatically manage the thread safety across multiple threads.
