Hi Rams,
Chase down the original source for the NIS client. This is broken in
the RedHat RPM. I spent 3 days chasing it before I recompiled from
source... And it then behaved correctly.
If you search bugtraq, you'll find their work around, with which I don't
agree. If it works from source, there is no excuse for work arounds.
The lesson I learned was to be very wary of redhat RPMS.
