Have you taken a look at /usr/doc/nis/nis.debian.howto.gz?  It goes
through each step of setting up an NIS master, slave, and/or client:

  - /etc/init.d/nis needs to be changed on the master
  - /etc/defaultdomain needs to be created both on server and clients
  - On the master, you need to run through "/usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m"
  - When you are done, restart NIS:
        /etc/init.d/nis stop
        /etc/init.d/nis start

On the master, try 'ypwhich'.  You should see its own host name if
everything is OK.  If that works, try 'ypwhich' from the clients as
well.
