The i am smelling is that your hostname lookup (DNS)
not working properly ,so first you have to check by
#nslookup NIS_SERVER
if it is working properly then you just check the howto
at http://www.geocities.com/mk_azeem/liscence.html
and check the chapter of NIS server, i hope you will find
some help from this document.
