Hey everyone,
We have an ancient sparc station 2 running sunOS 4.13. It uses NIS for name
resolution. The master is a machine running nis+ in compatibility mode. I
had to move both of these machines over to a new subnet and have
successfully brought up the nisplus machine. I made sure to uncomment the
emulation line in nscd.conf.
I have the sunos 4.13 client authenticating users to the master via nis.
There are some weird things going on that no amount of googling seems to
answer. Here's the behaviour.
/etc/hosts looks fine.
192.168.0.2 server.mydomain.com server
192.168.0.3 fileserver.mydomain.com fileserver
ping from client to server works using FQDN (ie server.mydomain.com)
ping from client to server does not work using alias. (ie server)
Ping from client to fileserver works using FQDN (ie fileserver.mydomain.com)
Ping from client to fileserver works using alias (ie fileserver)
All are on the same subnet.
I know Solaris well and know how to change nsswitch.conf to debug these sort
of problems but I'm a little green with SunOS 4.13. Anyone got ideas of how
to fix this?
TIA
