Can you edit your posting using code tags? Is there supposed to be a space in the string "ssmfkfaliases"?

As per the ypmatch manpage, the command requires at least two arguments, the first to the second-to-last arguments are the map lookup keys, and the last is the map itself. The list of maps can be generated with ypwhich.

Please consider using getent, as in getent aliases ssmfkf or getent passwd ssmfkf.
