Run rpcinfo -p and you will see the real problem. There are a
zillion attempts to connect to ypbind whether or not nis is enabled
in /etc/host.conf.
Here is where the message comes from:
clnttcp_create: RPC: Program not registered
265 }
(gdb) where
#0 clnt_pcreateerror (s=0x8cd2 "clnttcp_create")

Not sure what the best fix is. I guess looking at /etc/host.conf
would be a start.
