I guess I'm not sure know what to tell you. If it runs ok from the
command line then it sounds like it is just not getting started at
boot-time. Or possibly there is an error condition at that point that
is not present later. Mine starts fine and yours looks like mine modulo
a few minor option differences. Oh, and mine is 3.0-R. You could try
starting it the old-fashioned way -- in /etc/rc.local. Add something
like this at the end:
# NIS password ypdate server
[ -x /usr/sbin/rpc.yppasswdd ] && {
/usr/sbin/rpc.yppasswdd -t /var/yp/master.passwd; echo ' rpc.yppasswdd' >/dev/console
}
