Thanks for the reply, I'll try to clarify.

ypbind is running on my client (I had performed svcadm nis/client and it is enabled when I double-checked with svcs -a |grep nis)

on my server, I have both nis/client and nis/server running
I have also pushed the data (cd /var/yp ; make)
=======================
now on my server, (host1) ypcat passwd gives me the correct changes,etc and ypwhich points to the correct master server (host1)

but on my client, ypcat passwd gives me "RPC failure on yp operation"
when I do ypwhich, it gives me the correct master server (host1)

But what's wierd is when I perform ypmatch username passwd, I get the correct information...

I want to be able to use ypcat on my client which currently is not working

any solutions or advice?

EDIT: (added some more info)

This is just an observation, but this might give insight to my problem?

when I perform ypcat hosts on my master-server

my output is
ip host1
ip client
ip host1

I have 2 entries of host1, I've re-configured the master server (ypinit -m) countless times but I keep getting 2 entries for host1

if I cat /etc/hosts I only have:

ip host1
ip client

keep in mind my Makefile has DIR = /etc (default)
