The fact that you have gotten two FreeBSD boxes to talk makes me suspicious that your Linux server may not have been set up correctly. As for more details, a little about the net setup (both machines on same LAN)? The 'rc.conf' from FreeBSD, the 'init.d/network' from Linux (I dunno Linux, but that's where I would expect to find NIS on a SysV type startup)? -- Crist J.
