Hello,

I have two machines that I am trying to setup using NIS.

They are both using DES for passwords and I have one machine setup as the
master server and one as a client.

The master server is also setup to be a client as well and works just fine
for any NIS users I setup on it.

The problem is when I ypbind -S domain-name,master and I try to do a ypcat
of the passwd file it just sits there and finally throws an error stating
it cannnot find or bind to the specified server.  Both these machines are
setup exactly alike as far as client machines.  The only difference is
that the Master machine works as a client and the regular client does not.

Any suggestions.  I have followed all the faqs on NIS that I could find in
the archives and setting up a Master server was no problem.  Just need
help getting the client working.

Thanks

Chris
