NIS problems in Sun 5.10
Hi everyone! I have a problem with NIS and I'm hoping one of you experts can point me in the right direction 
I have setup 2 Solaris10 machines in VMWare and I was following this guide I found:
Solaris: NIS installation and configuration - Basically Tech
After following that guide, I was able to create 1 NIS master server and my NIS client.
ypwhich points to the correct master server but when I do a ypcat hosts I get "RPC failure on yp operation"
now from what I read, this is related to not having ypbind running but I had performed ypbind -broadcast to get properly bounded on the client in order to get ypwhich correctly working.
when I perform ypmatch username passwd I get the correct information though and I've added more users on my master server and the information is correct when I perform ypmatch username passwd on my client.
This is where my problem lies... I was under the impression that ypmatch and ypcat both grab from the same map files from /var/yp/domainname
Any experts out there know what my problem might be?
Any specific config files you need me to post, I will gladly post them...
both my client and server are identical in respects to
hosts
defaultrouter
defaultdomain
nsswitch.conf
the Makefile is default on my master server
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I've talked to some friends and they don't really know what the problem is.
Thanks,
Erin
