Ok, so it does support the YPPROC_MASTER procedure. Let's try something
a little different. This time, do:
% ypwhich -m master.passwd.byname
And show the results. Might as well try ypwhich -m master.passwd.byuid
too, though the result will probably be the same.

If you could, please. Though I'm curious to know just what was causing
the failure in the first place. Clearly YPPROC_MASTER on maps that
exist seems to work (otherwise ypwhich would have complained like
gangbusters), so maybe it's generating some sort of non-standard error
on maps that don't exist. The fact that it fails for root means it
must have something to do with probing for the master.passwd.by* maps,
but I'm not sure what yet.
