I am trying to connect a FreeBSD machine as a NIS client to a Solaris
machine. I am seeing success in that ypwhich indicates that it is bound to
the server, but it is not actually getting any maps - ypcat says "no map
by that name" for every map.

This is the first system on a new subnet, but there are other FreeBSD
clients on different subnets that work just fine.

I've never seen this behaviour before - ypbind starts up just fine (I
specify the server/domain using the -S flag) and ypwhich indicates that it
is bound with no errors.

The FreeBSD machine has been added to /var/yp/securenets on the server and
to /etc/netgroups.

Any tips appreciated,
Paul
