Problem: The ypserv command starts but does not respond to NIS requests.
Cause: The N2L server lock files are not correctly synchronizing access to the NIS maps. This should never happen.
Solution: Type the following commands on the N2L server.
# svcadm disable network/nis/server:default # rm /var/run/yp_maplock /var/run/yp_mapupdate # svcadm enable network/nis/server:default |
