Okay, thank you for that hint, this may help to locate the problem.
What puzzles me most is that we do have currently only one NIS server
(don't beat me for that, I'm here to fix all that!) so inconsistency
is something that should be almost impossible. But since the "ypmake"
seem to have solved my problem, I have to find out if there is some
funny bone with a "backup" of the NIS server... :-(
Thanks a lot!
