I am attempting to set up NIS to share passwords between two Linux computers. 
When I go to make the NIS database I get the following:

failed to send 'clear' to local ypserv: RPC: Program not registeredfailed to send 
'clear' to local ypserv: RPC: Program not registeredyphelper: This program is for 
internal use from some
          ypserv scripts and should never be called
          from a terminal

These errors come from the password, group, and the shadow files.  I have no
idea, my book doesn't cover this particular error :-(

Any ideas, its probably obvious but I don't know.
