Linux NIS master, Solaris NIS slave yields RPC timeout for yppush?

Hi,

I have a Redhat 9 NIS master server, and a Solaris 9 NIS slave server.

I can do a 'ypxfr' from the Solaris machine just fine, but whenever I try
to do a 'yppush' from the Linux master, I get this error:

: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out

Any ideas?

Thanks!!

David

Install the correct service on the sun machine, or ænable access to
your portmapper (or the sun portmapper) from your machine or the other
machine (as your debug trace indicates to you), or talk to the author
of your tools via their mailing list.

Turn on debugging.
