If NICs present in following order, then, ypbind does not bind on fxp0, which has a default router associated. Ypbind always try to bind on a NIC up with lowest scopeid, but not the NIC had address associated with the default router. All other network services, such NFS, nslookup, work well, except ypbind. sk0: flags=c843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::200:5aff:fe98:ea24%sk0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 ether 00:00:5a:98:ea:24 media: Ethernet 1000baseSX <full-duplex> status: active sk1: flags=c843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::200:5aff:fe98:ea25%sk1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 10.0.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.1.255 ether 00:00:5a:98:ea:25 media: Ethernet 1000baseSX <full-duplex> status: active fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 131.234.123.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 131.234.123.255 inet6 fe80::230:48ff:fe23:6124%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 ether 00:30:48:23:61:24 media: Ethernet 100baseTX <full-duplex> status: active Fix: Work around: Configure non primary NIC(s )(sk0 and sk1 in this case) in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/01.if-sk.sh if they come up at front of the primary NIC. How-To-Repeat: Install at least two NICs, and user the second one as primary interface, and configure the system to use NIS. After system boot, issue command rcpinfo -p and/or ypwhich if you have a ypserv running. rcpinfo -p will hang forever. ifconfig the first NIC (sk0 and sk1 in this case) down and restart ypbind, then ypbind will work.
