Subject: cron messages: yp_next: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out

Under FreeBSD 3.4-R, under a NIS client environment, I cannot seem
to keep cron messages quiet.  Harmless things like 'atrun' generate
mail:

  From root Fri Dec  1 02:00:10 2000
  Return-Path: <root>
  Received: (from root@localhost)

  X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root>
  X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root>
  X-Cron-Env: <USER=root>

  yp_next: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out

(I've obfuscated the hostnames.)

On this machine, root is a local account, not an NIS account.

The NIS server is

  nis1% uname -a
  SunOS nis1 5.7 Generic_106542-04 i86pc i386 i86pc

Does anyone have any advice on this matter?
