Ya, I got NIS working with Mandrake 7.0. It sure was a bitch though because they wrote the makefile wrong. You get that "Domain not bound" error when you do not have your NIS database built. You have to type /usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m You then follow the instructions and it will attempt to build your database. Unless yours is different then mine, it gave me two 'Command not found' errors while trying to build the group part. Its because there are two extra @ symbols in the makefile that shouldn't be there. After you remove them it will build correctly. Then I had the problem where the clients knew the server was there and that the password and group data bases existed but it wouldn't let anyone login. After playing with it a bit I found that you have to set merge the shadow with the password to 'true' in the makefile as well. Not sure about the groups tho. You might have to do those too. See the NIS howto for more information. I had to read it like 5 times before I finally understood what it was saying.
