I found that the problem is being caused by ypserv, but I don't know why.
When I run, ypserv -d, the screen scrolls up with the error message below,
until I kill the process.

ypserv: procedure ypproc_domain_nonack called from IP_Address:PID

Where the IP_Address is the machine's address.

Does anyone know what this means?

Thanks,

Cassandra P.
