I am attempting to set up (mostly for educational purposes) NIS
between two machine I have connected via PLIP (for now, anyway).
The server's IP is 10.0.0.1. The client's is 10.0.0.2. I decided to
call the NIS domain `chris-nis'.
The problem is that the client can't seem to reach the server.
`ypcat passwd' output (run on client machine):
ypcat: no such map passwd.byname. reason: Can't bind to server which
serves this domain
When I run `ypbind' on the server itself and do a `ypcat passwd' I do
see the passwd file.
One strange thing I am noticing, which I am pretty sure is related, is
that both `rpcinfo -p' and `rpcinfo -p 10.0.0.1' on the client fail
(just hang without telling me anything; I haven't let it go for more
than about 15 minutes). `prcinfo -p' and `rpcinfo -p 10.0.0.2'
from the server both work fine.
I have enabled portmap on both ends in rc.conf.
I have allowed portmap in hosts.allow for each of them from the other
and from itself.
I have added `nis' to host.conf on both client and server.
I have added an entry for `chris-nis' in hosts which points to
10.0.0.1 on both the client and the server.
I started out following the instructions given in the handbook, but
when they didn't work searched the archives and freebsddiary.org, and
found several different ways to set it up. The way I went about
configuring the machines, after following the handbook failed, was
basically trying out some of the things that other places mentioned.
Right now, other than the host entries, the `nis' entry in host.conf,
and the changes to hosts.allow, all changes were from following the
instructions in the handbook (including doing ypinit).
Some potentially useful info follows:

Thanks for reading this far. :-)
Thanks in advance for any help/pointers.
