Solution to service not found problem...

[Nick Walsh]

Ahhh...

If you are getting this error on Redhat6.x

...
Warning - unable to find service 'gdomap'
on a unix host it should be in /etc/services
as 'gdomap 538/tcp' and 'gdomap 538/udp'
...

The problem is in /etc/nsswitch.conf

change the line
services:   nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
to
services:   nis files

and gdomap and friends will start automagically
when you run an app.
