Re: Linux NIS Slave Servers.

[Danny Sauer <sauer@cloudmaster.com>]

There's nothing screwy with portmap on the master or anything obvious like
that, either, I assume?  It's not one of those cases where the slave has to
be forward and reverse resolvable or listed in hosts.allow or anything like
that is it?

I'm just semi-randomly swinging in the dark now, though.  I'll defer to the
redhat experts. :)
