Hello..
I am running NetBSD-1.3H/i386, using sources supped from around
Friday or Saturday, October 17 or 18.
I'm using the GENERIC kernel, except lots of device drivers have
been removed, and the following changes:
maxusers 64 # estimated number of users
options MCLSHIFT=11
options NMBCLUSTERS=8192
options MSGBUFSIZE=32768
I'm trying to abuse ypserv, to assure myself it might be stable in
my environment, but I'm getting the following error message:
ypcat: clnttcp_create failed
ypcat: no such map group.byname. Reason: Can't communicate with portmapper
ypcat: clnttcp_create failed
ypcat: no such map group.byname. Reason: Can't communicate with portmapper
ypcat: no such map group.byname. Reason: RPC failure
ypcat: no such map group.byname. Reason: RPC failure
What might this problem be? Too many open files? kern.maxfiles = 3404.
Is there a per-process limit which needs to be raised?
Thanks...
