NetBSD as NIS server, FreeBSD as client

[BERTRAND Joël <joel.bertrand%systella.fr@localhost>]

        Hello,

	Last sunday, I have tried to install a NIS server on my Blade 2000 
(sparc64 running last daily snapshot and kernel 6.99.49). I have 
configured rpc and both nfs server and nis server.

	On FreeBSD side (as NetBSD/i386 does not boot on this Acer Aspire 
1700), I have installed a nis client, but I'm not able to run ypcat on 
client. Thus, NIS client does not work.

	Of course, I have written hosts.allow and hosts.deny. rpcbind on server 
side seems to run as expected as I can mount home directory on nis 
client. ypserv and some others programs are registered and appear in 
rpcinfo output.

	But if I start on client ypbind, tcpdump only reports UDP broadcast on 
sunrp port. NIS server does not send any message.

	I don't have any firewall. I have tried with a hosts.allow that 
contains ALL: ALL without any result.

        I don't understand my mistake. All ideas are welcome.

        Best regards,

        JKB
