Very Computer

with a redhat 5.0 client, an sgi irix 6.2 nis server, the clinet binds
w/ no problem to the server, until the server is rebooted. then the
client loses it and ypbind has to be restarted for it to find the server
again. is there a patch/workaround for this ? a way to convince ypbind
to retry until it reconnects w/ the server when it comes back up ? sorry
is this has been answered already (tho' i could find only the complaint
and not a fix on dejanews.)

Try ypbind-mt 1.2. It is much better in rebinding in error cases.

cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
