Could you show us your NIS parameters set /etc/rc.conf file? Provided that is how you are starting NIS. If not, how are you doing it? Of most importance, are you using ypset? (My vague guess from your statements is that a machine with multiple interfaces could have ypserv and ypbind missing each other by trying to talk to each other in the wrong places... but just a guess until we get more info.) -- Crist J.
