Hello,

Still using the UP-1.0.9 on an Ultra-I. I think there could be some
problems with: 

	1) hostname/domainname
	2) the package ypbind-3.3-3.sparc.rpm

1)

I don't know how to setup these links to start ypbind correctly at boot time.

Any help appreciated.

You need to set the NIS domainname in /etc/sysconfig/networks

ie: add
NISDOMAIN=yourdomainname
to the end of the file.

If you want to check out whats happenning look at /etc/rc.d

in rc.sysinit you have :

# Set the NIS domain name
if [ -n "$NISDOMAIN" ]; then
    domainname $NISDOMAIN
else
    domainname ""
fi

(Which is set from the networks file)

Normally in rh5.0 you can change this with the level editor (whatever
its called ? ).

In the above cases change the K to an S for the levels you want it
running in ie: 3,4,5

ie: rc3.d/S30ypbind

PS: hopes this helps, I had trouble because I was specifying NISDOMAIN
as NIS_DOMAIN

Yes, I saw it. Thanks. My post was just to say that the command
'domainname' or 'hostname -y' without any argument does not give the
right output (under certain circumstances). On the other hand, the
system seems to use the right NIS domain name value, so no problemo at
all :-).

Here also, I did not want to say, hey this does not work !, but just
precise that the links are not correctly configured by the rpm
installation process. To set up correctly the links, I used
'chkconfig':
chkconfig --levels 345 ypbind on

Be careful, this does not only change the K to an S, but K30 to S70
(see init.d/ypbind).

So do I.
