I am running 2.1.7 on a 486-33MHz host named scar.  I am attempting 
to use NIS to authenticate logins on this machine.  Everything starts 
up without any error messages, but only local login ids and passwords 
are accepted at a login prompt.  I have added the '+' entries to 
/etc/passwd, /etc/group and /etc/aliases and have uncommented the NIS 
entry in /etc/host.conf.  I start ypbind successfully, then ypwhich 
shows I am bound to the master server in my domain named gie (a Sun 
Ultra Enterprise 4000 running Solaris 2.5.1).  When I run 'ypwhich 
scar' on the server I get an error message of "ypwhich: can't call 
ypbind on scar: RPC: program/version mismatch; low version = 2, high
version = 2".  Running 'ypwhich -V2 scar' returns gie.

Running rpcinfo and grepping for yp on gie yields (header added);

Running rpcinfo -p scar on scar yields;

Is there a place on the FreeBSD web site to look for NIS related 
problems? Does anyone know of any solutions or workarounds for this 
problem?  I have the O'Reilly book on NFS and NIS but it does not seem 
to address this problem.  Any help will be appreciated very much.
