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.
