read stuff about LDAP & had t go and have a lie down.
Trying to configure NIS

http://www.linux-nis.org/nis-howto/HOWTO/ypserv.html
got as far as :
Make sure the portmapper (portmap(8)) is running, and start the server
ypserv. The command

% rpcinfo -u localhost ypserv

should output something like

program 100004 version 1 ready and waiting
program 100004 version 2 ready and waiting
---------------------------------------------
this is what happens-

router yp # rpcinfo -u localhost ypserv
rpcinfo: RPC: Program not registered
program 100004 is not available

router yp # ps -A |grep portmap
1388 ? 00:00:00 portmap
what now?
program registered with what?

Registered with the portmapper. You have to start the ypserv daemon as
mentioned in the "howto" quote you provided, and depending on your distro,
it may be something like:

     /etc/rc.d/init.d/ypserv start

although you'll want to enable the ypserv scripts to startup at boot time in
multi-user mode, and the ypclient scripts on the client machine(s).
