Hello,

I just tried to set up a NIS slave server (Version 2.20-1) in a domain
that is mastered by an AIX workstation. 

The command "ypinit -s <master>" results in the error message

can't yp_bind: Reason: RPC failure
Can't enumerate maps from ..... Please check that it is run.

The maps are not transferred.

When I set up the Linux machine as a client ( with "ypbind -ypsetme"
and "ypset <master>" ) then I can get the passwd maps, but
"ypwhich -m" still fails:

$ ypwhich -m
YP: can't find the master of (null): Reason: Request arguments bad
YP: can't find the master of (null): Reason: Request arguments bad
YP: can't find the master of (null): Reason: Request arguments bad
....

Is this a compatibility problem between the AIX and the Debian NIS
implementation?

Thanks, Thomas
