I had the same problem with ypbind, it works perfectly if i use
broadcast (ie, i've server and clients in the same subnetwork), but if i
specify a server on a different subnet throught ypserver, it hangs
badly. i tried several version of yptools with no luck, so i think it's
a libc problem. As i installed 2.1 it hanged my system and i had to boot
from net (a pain!)
