Hi sun-managers,

this was my problem :

> since I've installed Solaris 2.6 on my sparc5 I'm getting this message
> from time to time :

> cron[12612]: yp_all - RPC clnt_call (transport level) failure: RPC:
> Unable to receive; An event requires attention

> The machine is running NIS in broadcast mode, the NIS servers are
> running either SunOS 5.x or SunOS 4.x, the YP master runs on an SunOS
> 4.1.4 machine.

I got no answers from sun managers but one from Sun itself. And it sorted the
problem out. Here it is :

> ... bug 4011531 ypserv runs out of filed descriptors to workaround,
> increase the FD limit in the yp startup script. add this to the script
> before ypserv is started:
> ulimit -n 256

The script to edit is /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstart.

Hope it helps,
Gianluca
