I just finished going through what you're having with YP, you really don't need
ypbind, if you're setup right.
Make sure you have (examples of mine are enclosed):
(on both clients & server)
/etc/yp.conf -
#
# yp.conf
#
domainname nis.oktax.state.ok.us
server 204.87.113.10
ypserver 204.87.113.10
(on server)
/etc/hosts.allow
#
# remember should not use dns names for nis servers
#
ypserv: 127.0.0.1, 204.87.113., 204.87.114. 204.87.69.
(on server)
/etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: files nis
shadow: files nis
group: nis files
hosts: files dns
services: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
networks: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
protocols: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
rpc: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
----
After this you should be able to do a 'ypcat passwd'
After you get it running check and see if ypserv is as big a pig as
mine seems (30% cpu on a 486dx2-66 with 200 pop users).
