I get the same error message from 2.2.6R. My solution, for now is to run the
"ypset master.nis.server" command from a cron job every minute or 5 minutes
or whatever you prefer. a better solution is to set up a slave nis server on
every subnet and not deal with the ypset silliness. so long as you're using
ypset it's recommended that you start ypbind with the -ypsetme option for
security reasons unless you want anybody on the net to be able to ypset your
client machine to whatever server they choose.
