Subject:   Weird NIS master problem

(Originally sent to -questions, but no one replied so I'm reposting it here)

I have two FBSD NIS machines, the master is running 4.6 and the slave is at
4.7.  The slave works properly, it's the master that is acting strangely.

The master is also serving as a router with 2 nic cards, and is running ntpd.
It processes NIS stuff, just *really* slowly.  It is not doing firewall stuff
(yet).

For example, running 'truss id dsilver' it stalls right after running
'gettimeofday' but eventually answers back properly.  The same behavior
happens on any other client if I bind it to the master instead of the slave,
i.e. you can login, it just takes a long time.

I've confirmed that both machines are running ypserv, ypbind, rpc.statd, and
the server is also running rpc.ypxfrd.  Does anyone know about this strange 
black magic known as NIS? :)

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

-Doug
