FWIW I've never had broadcast NIS work all that well in linux. Instead, I
just list all my NIS server master/slaves.

The YP server is correctly identified. I can ping it OK
in another window. However if I do a ypwhich in another
window I get:
speyburn ~ # ypwhich
can't yp_bind: Reason: Domain not bound
It doesn't make any difference if I use the "-broken-server"
flag.
This was working fine on the machine which failed and I'm
in the process of replacing, and I'm pretty sure I didn't
do any more than the above.
