NIS on Debian Alpha

[Ferenc Kiraly <feri@fiz.uni-lj.si>]

	Hi!

I'm trying to get NIS (the client) to work on an Alpha PC 164LX 
running a freshly installed hamm distribution. NIS installed without 
dependency problems (I will complain about those later). I followed
the HOWTO in /usr/doc/nis/... to set up the NIS client, but
whatever I do, I get this:

root@cruncher:/etc# ypcat passwd
yp_all: clnttcp_create failed
No such map passwd.byname. Reason: Can't communicate with portmapper
root@cruncher:/etc# ps aux | grep port
daemon    3418  0.0  0.2  3144   768  ?  S   Feb 23   0:00 /usr/sbin/portmap 

Am I missing something?? `ypwhich` correctly returns my NIS server on the
local network. 

	feri.
