Hi,

I this question is better suited for the questions@ mailing list.  This
list is for discussions about the FreeBSD documentation only.

Last time I used NIS, I followed the describtions in the FreeBSD handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nis.html

Worked without problems for me.  Have you read this?
