Hello,
I have a simple NIS system setup here.
I have the master server (who is also a client)  and one other client.
This is the rc.conf entry on the master:
nisdomainname="example.net"     # Set to NIS domain if using NIS (or NO).
nis_server_enable="YES" # We're an NIS server (or NO).
nis_yppasswdd_enable="YES"      # Run rpc.yppasswdd at boot time (or NO).
nis_yppasswdd_flags="-t /var/yp/master.passwd"  # Flags to rpc.yppasswdd
      			#(if enabled).
nis_client_enable="YES"
nis_client_flags="-S example.net,web.example.net"


web# ls -alsoF /var/yp
total 44
 1 drwxr-xr-x   4 root  wheel  -   512 Jan 25 22:14 ./
 1 drwxr-xr-x  18 root  wheel  -   512 Apr 23  1999 ../

 0 -rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel  -     0 Jan 26 10:03 ypservers





Everything is working fine except for I can't use yppasswd because of this
error:

yppasswd: rpc.yppasswdd is not running on the NIS master server


I do a ps -aux and verify that rpc.yppassed is not starting at boot as it
should. Do I have something wrong in rc.conf? Thank you for your time

iI am running:
3.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE
