NIS is giving me a big headache. I want to run it though... so here
is the rror it keeps coming up with:

$ yppasswd
YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: No bound server for domain possum.com
yppasswd: can't find the master ypserver: Can't bind to server which serves
this domain
$ domainname
possum.com
$ ps -ax | grep yp
 1941   1 S     0:00 /usr/sbin/ypserv
 1942  ?  S     0:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.yppasswdd -e chsh
 1944  ?  S     0:00 /usr/sbin/ypbind
 2002  ?  S     0:00 /usr/sbin/ypbind
 2004   5 S     0:00 grep yp
$

I'm running nis-1.20-1, and followed the /usr/doc/nis/* and
/usr/doc/HOWTO/NIS* instructions, but still nothing. What am I doing wrong?
