Hi everybody,
after playing with tcpdump, I found a problem on our DEC3000-Station (with
Tru64-Unix 5.0a) which serves as Master-NIS-Server. When trying to change a
password on this server, the client-yppasswd-program sends three calls to the
remote function on the server (after 0, 5 and 15 sec). After getting no
response, about 30 sec later the client gives up and states a message
RPC timed out
Another 5 sec later (about 35 sec after the first function call to the server
from the client), three UDP-Packages are sent back to the client (same socket
as function call), all three with the same content and all three nearly at the
same time. So I think, this should be the return packet from the RPC-Call, but
it's too late for the client.
Another item that makes me think that these are the return-packages is the
fact, that at the same time I get two --- but not three ---> first call
should have been successful --- messages in the auth.log stating that yppasswdd
made no change for this user.
What may be the reason for these timing-problems? Can I change the
timeout-value? Is there some parameter I can change to eliminate this behaviour?
Thanx
Armin
