Aha ! That explains things. I guess the whole area is 'in transition' to the new fully IPv6 supporting NIS & RPC . I'll give Thorsten's new libnsl library a try. About the only serious stumbling block block I've come across in nearly 2 years of running "the latest git / scm tag" of every software package ala LFS has been this attempt to get RPC & NIS (& NFSv4) working . I guess we have to wait for glibc to integrate a fully functional replacement for the old IPv4 RPC + NIS code.
