Hi,

from my understanding of the manual, securenets is the file that controls
which NIS clients may use the local NIS server ypserv.

However I'm getting a "syslog: ypserv: access denied for <IP>" while that <IP>
is exactly listed in /var/yp/securenets

The server is HP-UX 11.11 (PA64), and the client is SuSE SLES10 (x86_64).

Is there something special to care for?

Regards,
Ulrich

Did you use the "address_mask IP_address" format as presented here,
so your netmask wil be 255.255.255.255 for an exact match in IP address?

Yes, I did.

Ok, this might be too simple, but...
did you restart the NIS-Server after you edited the file ?
(I guess, because otherwise, there yould be no securenets at all and thus no
error...)

HTH (but probably it doesn't. ..)

No, I did not. I'll give that a try. Thanks.
