YPXFR(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual YPXFR(8)
[...]
-c Do not send a 'clear current map' request to the ypserv(8) pro-
cess running on the local host. This flag is normally used when
invoking ypxfr manually on a machine that is not yet running
ypserv(8). Without this flag, failure to contact the local NIS
server will cause ypxfr to abort the transfer.

Any other ideas? TIA!
