Very Computer

I encounter the problem of "Domain not bound" error when I use ypbind in
the local PC running Mandrake 7.1.  My NISDOMAIN is

ACAE_RCL

and my ypserver is running,

   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    100004    2   udp    977  ypserv
    100004    1   udp    977  ypserv
    100004    2   tcp    980  ypserv
    100004    1   tcp    980  ypserv

    100003    2   udp   2049  nfs
    100009    1   udp    691  yppasswdd

Here is my /etc/yp.conf

# /etc/yp.conf - ypbind configuration file
# Valid entries are
#
#domain NISDOMAIN server HOSTNAME
#       Use server HOSTNAME for the domain NISDOMAIN.
#
#domain NISDOMAIN broadcast
#       Use  broadcast  on  the local net for domain NISDOMAIN
#
#ypserver HOSTNAME
#       Use server HOSTNAME for the  local  domain.  The
#       IP-address of server must be listed in /etc/hosts.
#

domain ACAE_RCL server 137.189.101.53  <-- my local PC IP address
#ypserver acaepc53.mae.cuhk.edu.hk

when I run ypbind in debug mode, I get

cleared entry for domain ACAE_RCL: server 0.0.0.0, port 0
parsing config file
Trying entry: domain ACAE_RCL server 137.189.101.53

parsed domain ACAE_RCL server 137.189.101.53
bindto_server: domain ACAE_RCL, host 137.189.101.53
domain ACAE_RCL not served by 137.189.101.53

I don't knwo what I have missed in NIS+ setup.  Please help.

Thanks in advance.

But you might want to check and see if your domain is listed properly in
the DNS. and in bind.
