The question is, why is the SuSE box not allowed to contact the rpc.yppasswdd daemon on the NIS master server? Are you really sure it is running? Are there any firewalls, /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} rules or similar? What can you find in the log files on the master server?
Not to say: it works fine for me.
Yes. I have a firewall. What port needs to be open?
The RPC one and the ones used by rpc.yppasswdd and ypserv.

Hi Thorsten. Hi Everyone.
here is a snip from rpcinfo -p program vers proto port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100004 2 udp 829 ypserv 100004 1 udp 829 ypserv 100004 2 tcp 832 ypserv 100004 1 tcp 832 ypserv 100009 1 udp 849 yppasswdd
So from this I can guess that these ports need to be open. Is this correct?
Yes. But be aware: If you restart the services, this ports will change.
But surely there must be some way of making this permanent. Maybe a range of addresses? How do you overcome this on your firewall? TIA Steve.
