NFS Server denies mount to Client when client hostname is in NIS netgroup

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • NFS Server denies mount to Client when client hostname is in NIS netgroup
  • NFS servers deny mounts to clients quite randomly
  • We have tried flushing YP cache, restarting nscd, restarting ypbind,
  • Exports are defined like: /path/to/export @netgroupname(rw)
  • The mounts are autofs mounts, however manual mounts also fail

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5
  • NFS (RHEL as both NFS Server and NFS Client)
  • Solaris NFS clients
  • NIS ypbind (RHEL as NIS client, Solaris NIS ypserv server)
