Thnx jlliagre,
As you said, I configured master server with any domain name. e.g. I used the name" nisdomain"
Now my master nis server is working fine.
I can see the name of master server using ypwhich.
#ypwhich
unknown..........as I am using DHCP- so hostname is showing unknown.
But I still can't able to run nis on client.
#/usr/sbin/ypinit -s unknown .....(as master server name is unknown)
dump_ypmaps: Can't bind for domain nisdomain. Reason: can't communicate with rpcbind
Can't enumerate maps from unknown. Please check that it is running.
bash-3.00# ypwhich
ypwhich: can't communicate with rpcbind
bash-3.00# svcs -a | grep nis/client
maintenance 23:22:44 svc:/network/nis/client:default
Please suggest.
Thnx

DESCRIPTION
ypwhich returns the name of the NIS server that supplies the NIS services to a NIS client, or which is the master for a map. If invoked
without arguments, it gives the NIS server for the local machine. If hostname is specified, that machine is queried to find out which NIS
master it is using.

Find the master NIS server for a map. No hostname can be specified with the -m option. mname can be a mapname or nickname for a
map. If mname is omitted, ypwhich will produce a list of available maps.
