Cannot find valid Coldstart file
2007-12-24 23:40:00
getting an error indicating that a valid coldstart file cannot be found. "Is
NIS+ installed?"
I have tried removing the host as a client and reinstalling it. Removed the
host from the hosts table on the root master. Reentered it. Removed /var/nis
directory . no etc.rootkey was present, no nis related daemons running.
Then from the rootmaster ran nisclient -co <hostname>
On the host ran nisclient -i -h <rootmasterhostname> -d <nis+domainname>.
Still getting the error. Could not create/find a valid NIS_COLD_START file.
Aborting.
Ping and traceroute is working between the two.
Any help would be appreciated, this is something of an emergency.
