ahh, figured it out. gotta edit nsswitch.conf...=) cool, i'm finally done, thanks for all the help, Ashley.I'm glad you figured it out. Sorry, I crashed last night which is why you didn't get responses from me. You're right though, ypinit is in the ypserv package, even though you need it on the client machine as well - this forced me to install the ypserv package on all clients - quite annoying. Whoever packed this up didn't think about /usr/lib/yp being something that the client needs, NOT the server. The server only uses /var/yp. Oh well...
As for securenets, true, if it doesn't exist, you're opening yourself up for the whole world to access your files - which is why it's suggested you have it. And you need at least ypxfrd running on the server so that the client can transfer modified files over. Note that on my stock yp installation on my 7.3, the files in /var/yp/<domain.name> were never refreshed when I added/removed users. I ended up adding crontab that ran 'make -C /var/yp' every so often, coupled with the client machine running ypxfrd (from the scripts in /usr/lib/yp) to keep everything in sync. That's another thing the ypclient package is missing, the crontabs that are in /usr/lib/yp - they don't get installed till you install the ypserv package, yet you need them on the client.
