That is very strange. I have no RPC problems with my rpc sched changes
on 2.1.128. My NFS works fine. Do you have problems for all RPC or just
NIS? Since I cannot verify it myself, I will leave it there. There are
so many weird problems with 2.1.127 and 2.1.128. I don't know what really
cause the problem. Let's wait until the kernel is stable again. I will
take a closer look then.

BTW, does

# ypcat hosts

work for you with my rpc sched changes? If not, please send me

# strace ypcat hosts

and

# netstat

I need the outputs of those commands at the same time.
