Here you are a quick and dirty fix.
The ypbind can't bind to the server specified throught the ypserver
directive (the directory /var/yp/binding is empty), so after launching
ypbind put into /var/yp/binding two files domainname.1 and domainname.2 (i
gathered them from another nis client even intel).
Good luck
