Here's the ouptut from '/usr/etc/yp/yppoll passwd.byname' on a
SunOS 4.1.3_U1 machine:
[pascal@casesrv(ttyp7)]<3> /usr/etc/yp/yppoll passwd.byname
Can't make YPPROC_ORDER call to ypserv at (null).
Reason: RPC: Procedure unavailable
As you said, looks like NIS+ compatiblity mode is not so compatible.
I'll check our Sun Solve account to see if yp_order not being supported
under NIS+ is mentioned or not.

Will do. I probably wont be able to get to it until Monday, but I'll
let you know how it works out.
Thanks for your quick response.
