i have already understood that the re-init is just for NIS 
my NISserver is in linux debian 2.2.10
my master is in SunOS 5.5 and my client in HPux 11.00
i ever try to re-init the map group.bygid with the ypxfr command, it doesn't work anymore...
but, now i need to find a quickfix for this problem and i try my client bound a other nisserver which is in the same subnet and in the same VLAN...but my client do want to bind the other niserver, that's why i ask this question.
i finally find the solution; in HPux, the /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs file contains informations on the different variables.
when i try a ypinit -s MASTER_NIS_SERVER
the nis slave responds :
"can't enumerate maps from MASTER_SERVER. Please check that it is running"
i used to know the NIS world, but now i discover the dark side of the NIS...
thx for your patience
