What exact is your problem ? What doesn't work ? Have you run
ypbind in debug mode on one terminal ? What is the output ?

Linux is like a Vorlon. It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.

Are you sure that your server is running properly? I just finished successfully
setting up a new RH 5.1 network today. Check to see if your server is properly
running ypserv. If it is (or isn't), feel free to e-mail me and I can forward
instructions for gettng ypbind (and ypserv) up and running.

Hello,

: Hi,
:
: ypbind -debug > outputs
:
: parsed ypserver nis1
: bindto_server: domain nisdomain.com, host nis1
: domain nisdomain.com not served by nis1.nisdomain.com
: received signal 2

There could be 2 problems: Your DNS domainname is not your NIS domainname,
or your host does not have permission to contact the NIS Server. What
is ypserv on nis1 is saying ? Is your /var/yp/securenets Ok on nis1 ?
Or if that ypserv is using tcp wrapper, is /etc/hosts.allow ok ?
