Do you think the message

can't yp_bind: Reason: RPC failure
Can't enumerate maps from <master>. Please check that it is run.

means that the domain is not set?

At least the second line indicates that the Linux host could not figure
out the name of the maps (this may be an additional problem, however).
The same problem seems to arise when I set up the host as a NIS client:
In this case everything is ok but the command "ypwhich -m" gives the
error

"YP: can't find the master of (null): Reason: Request arguments bad"

This error might not be critical when the Linux machine is a client
but it is crucial when it should be a slave server. (Since the Linux
machine is the only host in its local network, it must be configured
as a slave server.)

It gives the correct domainname

Cheers, Thomas
