I finally got it working this morning. I changed a couple of lines,
somewhat experimentally, and the final bits worked perfectly.
Thanks to everyone for your support and patience.

Ok, can you give us more details on your Network and YP configuration,
including domain name, etc?

It sounds like you might, and I stress might, have the client
mis-configured with which network it's trying to talk to the yp
server.
What happens if you do
/etc/init.d/ypbind restart
ypwhich
what do you get then? What's in your /etc/yp.conf file? How is your
server configured?

Have you made the client into a slave by mistake, but it's not pulling
over the changes from the master because it's not listed in
/etc/ypservers? Or the ypservers map?
Scott> Both client and server have been rebooted many times.
That's not going to help probably, since you've got a
mis-configuration from the sound of it, not a system problem.
I assume both boxes are on the same subnet, have matching subnet
masks, can talk to each other (ssh, ping, etc) without any problems?
Thanks,
John
