With 5.1, I had to manually add NISDOMAIN=<domainname> to
/etc/sysconfig/network. Once that happened, rc.sysinit set the domainname
and things were all good. In my opinion, the domainname should have been
set by /etc/rc.d/init.d/ypbind before it starts up ypbind in order to
accomodate a change to the domain name; otherwise, this change won't
happen until the next reboot (or unless you manually set domainname). Try
just doing 'domainname my.domain' as root and then restarting ypbind.
