Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, Christoph
Kukulies had to walk into mine and say:

Odd. Okay, try this: edit /usr/src/usr.sbin/rpc.yppasswdd/yppasswdd_main.c
and change the error message so that it prints out the hostnames that it's
comparing. Normally, the code looks like this:
if (strncmp(mastername, (char *)&myname, sizeof(myname))) {
yp_error("this host is not an NIS master server -- aborting");
exit(1);
}
Make it say this:
if (strncmp(mastername, (char *)&myname, sizeof(myname))) {
yp_error("this host is not an NIS master server \
(mastername:%s != myname:%s) -- aborting", mastername, myname);
exit(1);
}
This way you will be able to see why it fails. Alternatively, compile
rpc.yppasswdd with -g and examine mastername and myname with gdb.
Myname is determined by calling gethostname() to find the local host
name. Mastername is found by doing a yp_master() on the passwd.byname
map, so it should be the same as that returned by yppoll.
Let me know what hostnames this message prints out. Hopefully this
will show why rpc.yppasswdd thinks 'toots' isn't the NIS master for
your domain.
