I'm trying to configure FreeBSD 2.2.8 to act as a NIS server for a Sun 4.1
box. Here's what I have on the FreeBSD side:

/etc/host.conf contains:
nis

/etc/rc.conf contains:
hostmaine="freebsd.boxen.com"
nisdomainname="nis.domain"
nis_server_enable="YES"
nis_yppasswdd_enable="YES"

rpcinfo -u localhost ypserv returns:
program 100004 version 1 ready and waiting
program 100004 version 2 ready and waiting

tcpdump -i ethernet_interface returns:
01:36:33.445599 solaris.boxen.com.1063 > 192.168.0.0.sunrpc: udp 104

Whereas, on the sun4.1 box which is trying desperately to initialise NIS
during boot-time is continuously returning:
NIS: server not responding for domain "nis.domain"; still trying.

Any suggestions should be greatly appreciated,
Marc
