The Sun is happily serving it to everyone else and general networking on the FreeBSD box is happy as well. Even a ypbind with explicit domain and/or server doesn't help. If I do a ypwhich it says 'domain not bound', and mountd hangs while trying to figure out the export lines. The Handbook doesn't seem to have the NIS stuff yet - I've set it up before on SunOS/linux without hastle - suggestions please!!
