I've been attempting to get a few redhat 5.2 systems setup as NIS
clients and for the most part it seems to work, however the system is
INCREDIBLY slow, taking on the order of 1 or 2 minutes to handle a login.
Also, I've noticed a lot of daemons (httpd, proftpd, etc) take about the same
amount of time to start, spending inordinate amounts of time looping apparently
trying to access the ip 0.0.0.0 for something as per an strace on said daemon.
I've set up my nsswitch.conf to use:
passwd: compat
shadow: compat
group: compat
as per the NIS howto but it doesn't seem to change the behavior at all from the
default redhat setting. Following the NIS HOWTO certainly doesn't seem to work
as its supposed to with Redhat systems. If anyone has any insight or
experience with NIS and redhat, I'd appreciate it if you would send me a brief
description of what you changed from the default. I have the basics set up
correctly, such as loading ypbind, setting the ypservers in /etc/yp.conf. At
this point the only thing I can possibly see that would be causing problems is
the nsswitch.conf settings.
Thanks,
-Scott
