I've set the IP number of my machine in /etc/rc.config, on the
YP_SERVER line, and SuSEconfig has made the file /etc/yp.conf,
that says

ypserver 192.168.81.38

and I've also set the rc.config line:

 YP_DOMAINNAME="dogswood.com" 

and yet, whenever I try to invoke a service that depends on NIS,
I get the error message:

big-dog ypbind[134]: domain dogswood.com not served by 192.168.81.38

The rc.config file, and the SuSE 5.3 book say things like
"ask the admin of the yp-server."  Well, that's me.

What else do I have to do?  Is there something else I need to put
in /etc/hosts?  Now, it says:

127.0.0.1	localhost
192.168.81.38	big-dog.dogswood.com	big-dog

All the rpc and yp programs mentioned in all the how-tos seem to
be running, but the NIS system doesn't think it has a yp server
"bound" where it needs it.  The daily cron job spits an error
message to the screen:

YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: No bound server for domain dogswood.com

What do I need to do to fix this?

Please...
