I run ypbind on a small network, with RH it is very easy to setup, use
linuxconf to set the yp domainname and server (as its self) on the server,
cd /var/yp, type make, and start ypserv. Then try to ypbind to the server
from its self. You can test yp by using ypcat passwd.
Any other questions drop me a line.
