Ok it works now with firewall turned off. I guess you don't usually run yppasswd on the server but it is practical if you also run samba on the server and do auto sync of passwds with windows boxes as well. Now the problem is what ports does NIS use. I already got port 111 open but it won't find nis server so there must be more ports in the game there. mk

Where is ypbind ?
# rpcinfo -u localhost ypserv program 100004 version 1 ready and waiting program 100004 version 2 ready and waiting

# yppasswd yppasswd: can't find the master ypserver: Can't bind to server which

this domain
I'd love to hear where I made a mistake.
yppasswd cannot work since it needs a running ypbind to find the server.
