A fix to this problem is detailed in the NIS HOWTO: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NIS-HOWTO/maps.html#AEN548
No need to recompile, just add the --no-limit-check option to makedbm in /var/yp/Makefile: DBLOAD = $(YPBINDIR)/makedbm -c -m `$(YPBINDIR)/yphelper --hostname` --no-limit-check I just did this on a stock etch NIS Master with SUSE slaves and clients and it worked like a charm.
