Here's how I run a NIS slave server, with a SGI as the master: The freebsd box was a client of the SGI. I then started the server on the bsd box, then told the SGI that it had a slave server (read the yp / nis man pages on the platform of the master server -- you need to add the new server's name to a file within /var/yp/). I then had the SGI force update the maps, so that it updated the (empty) maps on the bsd box. Keep no NIS source datafiles on the bsd box. The pertinant parts of my /etc/sysconfig: nis_clientflags="-ypset" nis_ypsetflags="localhost" nis_serverflags="" Don't run yppasswd on the slave. When you reboot the box, you should see that it is ypbound to itself, and all should be cool.
