This sounds like the same problem I am having and have posted to the
-questions list about.  As yet I have had no reply, but the server I am
trying to authenticate with is a FreeBSD-2.0.5 machine.  All other yp
functions (ypcat, ypbind, ypwhich...) seem to work OK.

If you get anywhere with this i would appreciate any info you have.
Likewise, if I have a breakthrough I will let you know.


cheers,
Carey Nairn
