Hrm, that seems to be a problem. Search google for this problem. It might turn up a way to solve it that I cannot think of. (Again, I'm not running NIS currently.)

ypmatch(1) General Commands Manual ypmatch(1)
NAME
ypmatch - print the value of one or more keys from an NIS map
SYNOPSIS
ypmatch [-d domain] [-k] [-t] key... mname
ypmatch -x
OPTIONS
Displays key values for specified domain. Displays key, followed by a colon (:), before displaying value of the key. This is useful if the
keys are not duplicated in the returned values, or if the number of specified keys is so large that the output is confusing. Inhibits
translation of nickname to mapname. For example, ypmatch -t zippy passwd
fails because there is no map named passwd, while ypmatch zippy passwd
succeeds because ypmatch translates it to ypmatch zippy passwd.byname. Displays map nickname table. This option tells ypmatch to
list the nicknames (mnames) with their associated mapnames.
DESCRIPTION
The ypmatch command prints the values associated with one or more keys from the Network Information Service (NIS) map (database) specified
by mname, which may be either a mapname or a map nickname.
Multiple keys can be specified. After the key values and the map name have been specified, ypmatch searches the map for all of the speci-
fied keys. The specified keys must be exact values in terms of capitalization and length. The ypmatch command does not have a pattern
matching capability. If ypmatch cannot match a key, it produces a diagnostic message.
The default list of mapnames served by NIS is as follows: passwd.byname, passwd.byuid, group.byname, group.byuid, hosts.byname,
hosts.byaddr, networks.byname, networks.byaddr, services.byname, rpc.bynumber, protocols.byname, protocols.bynumber, netgroup.byuser, net-
group.byhost, mail.alias.
EXAMPLES
The following are sample command lines that illustrate how to use the ypmatch command to access information in each of the maps:
----------------------------------------------------------
Mapname Sample command
----------------------------------------------------------
passwd.byname ypmatch user1 passwd.byname
passwd.byuid ypmatch uid1 passwd.byuid
group.byname ypmatch group1 group.byname
group.byuid ypmatch gid1 group.bygid
hosts.byname ypmatch host1 host.byname
hosts.byaddr ypmatch hostaddr1 hosts.byaddr
networks.byname ypmatch network1 networks.byname
networks.byaddr ypmatch netaddr1 networks.byaddr
services.byname ypmatch servport/tcp services.byname
rpc.bynumber ypmatch rpcnum rpc.bynumber
protocols.byname ypmatch proto1 protocols.byname
protocols.bynumber ypmatch protonum1 protocols.bynumber
netgroup.byuser ypmatch user1 netgroup.byuser
netgroup.byhost ypmatch host1 netgroup.byhost
mail.alias ypmatch mailgroup1 mail.alias
