'lo out there :-)

I've recently installed FreeBSD 4.0-release as (among other functions)
an NIS server for a small network.

Almost everything is working fine; people can log in, ypwhich and ypcat
work as expected, and yppasswd works fine on the machine itself. However,
when I try to use yppasswd from another machine, it won't work. It logs
a message "access to master.passwd.byname denied -- client x.x.x.x:1731
not privileged" and "rejected update request from unauthorised host".

(Where x.x.x.x is the IP of the client, obviously)

Other YP requests from that host work fine, so I assume it's not 
/var/yp/securenets which is the problem. Update requests from the 
server itself work, so I assume it's not a problem with rpc.yppasswdd
not being able to update the password hash.

Any suggestions? Thanks...
