Hello, 
Was wondering if anyone ran across this type of thing before and could give advice?  
I made a NIS domain on our lan behind the firewall.  I have ypserv running and ypbind 
(on the server) is bound to the localhost.  I have a client that pulls the information 
off of the server.  I wanted to make that client a slave server, but when I did a 
"ypinit -m" on my master server, it times out on "Updating netid.byname" (says: 
netid.byname-> myslaveserver.mydomain.int: Callback timed out) and it exits with error 
2.
When I ran ypinit -s mymasterserver.mydomain.int, it said "Can't enumerate maps from 
mymasterserver.mydomain.int. Please check that it is running."  It _is_ running.  In 
/var/log/messages, it says: myslaveserver ypserv [9545]: ypproc_xfr: refuse to 
transfer map from 192.168.1.2, no valid domain.  The ip number is the correct ip 
number for the master server. 
Can anyone please help me with this?

Thank you!
