Hi all, Thanks for the reply I have received for my problem. Now I have start ypbind in debug mode, and get the following output: /sbin/init.d/ypclient start Starting ypbindcleared entry for domain bagus.hawedo.com: server 0.0.0.0, port 0parsing config file Trying entry: ypserver 192.168.1.1 parsed ypserver 192.168.1.1 bindto_server: domain bagus.hawedo.com, host 192.168.1.1 clnt_create for server 192.168.1.1 failed I have set up both server and client with YAST. But using YAST to set up YP SERVER does not ask for YP SERVER NAME? Where do I set the YP sever name on the server site. I have used my server host name and ip number on the client site, /etc/yp.conf. Sometimes I get also an error output which says host 192.168.1.1 (my server ip number) is not served by bagus.hawedo.com. Can somebody help me out.
