Hi, I have both linux and solaris NIS client against a Solaris NIS Server, but my linux box are shamefully slow compare to solaris some sample: on Solaris 5.8: # ypwhich transporter02.domain.com # time id userid uid=36923(userid) gid=36923(u_036923) real 0.0 user 0.0 sys 0.0 on Linux: [root at linux]# ypwhich transporter02.domain.com [root at amsdc2-n-s04taw root]# time id userid uid=36923(userid) gid=36923(u_036923) groups=36923(u_036923) real 0m10.509s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.090s ********** Route**************** [root at linux]# traceroute transporter02 traceroute to transporter02.domain.com (IP), 30 hops max, 46 byte packets 1 nlamsdc2mp078-hsrp.net-equip.domain.net (IP) 0.000 ms 0.000 ms 0.000ms 2 transporter02.domain.com (IP) 0.000 ms 0.000 ms 0.000 ms solaris# traceroute transporter02 traceroute to transporter02.domain.com (145.6.246.53), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 transporter02.domain.com (145.6.246.53) 0.462 ms 0.279 ms 0.306 ms Although I considered that latency involved but still I'm not statisfied, is there any tunable parameter that I can set on linux box to somehow improve the performance? I also noticed things that I'm not sure if this is default on linux nis bindings: [root at linux]# pwd /var/yp/binding [root at linux]# ls NONAME.DOMAIN.COM.1 NONAME.DOMAIN.COM.2 ===> why there are two of this on linux? solaris# cd /var/yp/binding solaris# ls NONAME.DOMAIN.COM xprt.tcp.3 xprt.ticlts.3 xprt.ticotsord.2 xprt.udp.2 xprt.tcp.1 xprt.ticlts.1 xprt.ticots.3 xprt.ticotsord.3 xprt.udp.3 xprt.tcp.2 xprt.ticlts.2 xprt.ticotsord.1 xprt.udp.1 ypbind.pid Thanks in advance for any feedback. Things I've tried to tweak: * put NIS Server IP on /etc/yp.conf * put NIS Server IP on /etc/hosts no positive result. joseph -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
