After some analysis I found the problem is related to SGI Workstation NIS clients (IRIX 6.5). The interesting point is that the old FreeBSD 3.2 NIS server did not have this problem! I tried to find the source of the problem, but RPC programming is not a skill I have. Anyway, I managed to make ypserv work running the ypserv binary from 3.5.1-RELEASE distribution. I also tried ypserv binaries from 4.1.1 and 4.2, with only core dumps as a result. The problem is probably ay libc, since ypsrev-3.5.1 runs with /usr/lib/compat/libc.so.3, and I did not find any big diferences in the ypserv sources between RELENG_3 and RELENG_4. If somebody wants to study this deeper, I could send the coredumps from ypserv-4.1.1 and ypserv-4.2. I may not promise a deeper testing, as the lab with this setup is not at my job.
