Hi,

Thanks to

Daniel Lorenzini <lorenzd@gcm.com> and blymn@awadi.com.au (Brett Lymn)

I finally solved the problem by:

1) ypcat -k ypservers > /tmp/ypservers
2) editor /tmp/ypservers to fix the bad entry
3) cd /var/yp
4) cat /tmp/ypservers|makedbm - /var/yp/`domainname`/ypservers

Thanks a lot.

> We are runing yp server on Sun4.1.3 Sparc10 workstation.
> Whenever you update our yp files, it gives:

> Can't get an address for server .

> What is the problem of these error messages? How can I remove them?

> Thanks.
