Patch-ID# 100342-01 Keywords: NIS client server rebind Synopsis: NIS client takes a long time to recover if the server is rebooted. Date: 1/Aug/1991 SunOS release: 4.1 4.1.1 Unbundled Product: Unbundled Release: Topic: NIS rebind patch BugID'd fixed for this patch: 1046416 Architectures for which this patch is available: sun3, sun4 Patches which may conflict with this patch: Obsoleted by: Sys_V_Rel4 Problem Description: Bug 1046416: If you bring a ypserver down into single user and then boot it into multi user by either typing control D or reboot, the yp clients will take a long time to rebind to the server. ********************* WARNING ****************************** This is a new version of ypbind that never uses the NIS binding file to cache the servers binding. This will have the effect of fixing the current symptom. However, it might degrade the overall performance of the system when the server is available. This is most likely to happen on an overloaded server, which will cause the network to produce a broadcast storm. ************************************************************* INSTALL:: As root and for the correct architecture directory. #kill the currently running ypbind kill mv /usr/etc/ypbind /usr/etc/ypbind.FCS #copy the new version to /usr/etc cp sun{3,4}/ypbind /usr/etc chown root /usr/etc/ypbind chmod 755 /usr/etc/ypbind restart ypbind
