UPDATE:
After working with a friend, we were able to find the problem!!
Now supposedly this is supposed to be setup when I setup using ypinit... but in my case (this happened 3 times! did not default for me)
there is a value from the network/rpc/bind SMF
if you run
svcprop network/rpc/bind | grep local on the NIS master
you will get an output like so:
# svcprop network/rpc/bind | grep local
config/local_only boolean true
if this is set to true, remote connections cannot query rpcbind
# svccfg -s svc:/network/rpc/bind
svc:/network/rpc/bind> listprop config/local_only
config/local_only boolean true <-- we want to change this to false
svc:/network/rpc/bind> setprop config/local_only=false
svc:/network/rpc/bind> listprop config/local_only
config/local_only boolean false <-- now it's setup as false
svc:/network/rpc/bind> end
# svcadm refresh /network/rpc/bind
reset the NIS client and voila! RPC failure on yp operation fixed!!!
THANK YOU ALL FOR THE HELP (Tony, thanks again!)
