[Freeipa-users] NIS Compat issues

Hello,

I've recently had to restart my IPA servers and my NIS compatibility mode has stopped working.
I've configured my IPA server to run in NIS compatibility mode by doing the following.
[root at ipaserver ~]# ipa-nis-manage enable
[root at ipaserver ~]# ipa-compat-manage enable
Restart the DNS and Directory Server service:
[root at server ~]# service restart rpcbind
[root at server ~]# service restart dirsrv
On my NIS clients I have the following setup in the yp.conf file.
domain                 domainname.ca               server                   ipaservername.domainname.ca

I tried just running the broadcast option but with no luck.


When I try to do a service ypbind start on my NIS clients it takes a few minutes to finally fail.
When I tried an yptest says "Can't communicate with ypbind" which makes sense since ypbind will not start.

On the NIS client in the messages file it says the following;
Ypbind: broadcast: RPC: Timed Out
Cannot bind UDP: Address already in use

Nothing has changed on my IPA server/configuration so I have no idea why this stopped working.
Any suggestions?

Matt
