 Sounds like your map file is not NISified.. here is the Makefile snipit
 that I used to generate a good NIS map from an amd map:

$(YPDBDIR)/$(DOM)/amd.ump.time: $(YPSRCDIR)/amd.ump
        @/usr/bin/cat $(YPSRCDIR)/amd.ump | \
                /usr/local/bin/perl  \
                -pe 's:\\\s*\n|\s*#.*|^\s*\n::g;s:\s{2,}: :g' | \
           $(MAKEDBM) - $(YPDBDIR)/$(DOM)/amd.ump;
        @touch $(YPDBDIR)/$(DOM)/amd.ump.time;
        @echo "updated amd.ump";
        @if [ ! $(NOPUSH) ]; then $(YPPUSH) -d $(DOM) amd.ump; fi
        @if [ ! $(NOPUSH) ]; then echo "pushed amd.ump"; fi

 Note.. this is from an HP Makefile. So the Makefile targets may need 
 modification if you drop it in place.
