I am establishing a NIS server and get this error when the slave is
configured

Transferring hosts.byname...
ypxfr: master.mydomain.com: YPPROC_MATCH failed: RPC: Timed out


The hosts.byaddr transfers ok .... I am wondering is there a 'correct'
format for
the hosts file that works....

currently it is
w.x.y.z        machine.mydomain.com    machine
a.b.c.d       machine2.mydomain.com    machine2

any ideas ??
