Subject:   FreeBSD as NIS slave for a linux box?

Hi there

I got two machines.  One machine is 'fullmoon', running on
Debian GNU/Linux and the second machine is 'zeus', running
on FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE.

fullmoon is my NIS master server.  Now I'd like to have zeus
as a NIS slave server.

On fullmoon, I modified /var/yp/Makefile.  So I provide a
master.passwd map now:

fullmoon:~# ypcat master.passwd.byname
thomasb:REMOVED:2000:2000::0:0:Thomas Bader:/home/thomasb:/bin/zsh
fullmoon:~# ypcat master.passwd.byuid
thomasb:REMOVED:2000:2000::0:0:Thomas Bader:/home/thomasb:/bin/zsh

Then I setup zeus as it is described in the FreeBSD
handbook.

But it does not work.  I get the following messages in
/var/log/messages:

-->-->-->--
Dec 31 17:43:31 zeus ypxfr[16963]: failed to send 'clear' to local ypserv: =

Dec 31 17:43:32 zeus ypserv[187]: couldn't find master for map master.passw=
d.byuid@home.t-bader.ch
-<--<--<--

Also, ypxfr does not work:

-->-->-->--
zeus# /usr/libexec/ypxfr -h fullmoon master.passwd.byname
ypxfr: client/server DB type mismatch
ypxfr: call to rpc.ypxfrd failed: RPC: Can't decode result
ypxfr: failed to send 'clear' to local ypserv: RPC: Timed out
ypxfr: Exiting: Couldn't send "clear" request to local ypserv
--<--<--<--

But I have all daemons, which are needed, running:

-->-->-->--
zeus# rpcinfo -p zeus

Any suggestions?
