I have RHEL5 Server originally configured and installed by me with Firewall enabled, but passing through NFS, Samba, and SSH. I then disabled SELinux.
As you all likely recall, I had configured a test environment to get samba and nfs/nis up and running. I got it going, and recently brought it to a production server.
After modifying the files on the production server and rebooting, I'm getting the long pause of the server trying to bind to my yp domain, then failing. When I finally was able to log in, SELinux warned me that I could get past the ypbind problem by issuing a command, which I did.
I then restarted ypbind, and got a delay/timeout again.
I'll check the log files tomorrow for any further hints.
Is there a file I can edit to ensure SELinux is disabled? The system was initially installed with SELinux Enabled, then disabled later by me.
In the meantime, I did find http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/security-guide/s1-serv... and will see if that may help.
I think once I get past beyond the security issues, yp will work/bind fine.
Thanks for any help/insights.
