Fair enough to suggest nisdomainname - and yes it is correct.

Also a good suggestion for hosts.deny & allow !  Even though I have
checked this... after double (or was it triple) checking the setup, I
realise that I used a network+host wildcard for my "who's allowed in"
string and I now find that if I explicitly allow the nis client it all
works!!!  Hurray!
Thankyou for your quick responses.
You can only imagine my joy!
