Looks like you never set the domainname and then ran ypserv, 
try it again as follows:

dommainname name-if-nis.domain (this is different that the actual network domain)
/etc/init.d/ypserv restart
/usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m
then if correct CTRL | D
/etc/init.d/yppasswdd restart


Mark

That should do the trick
