I don't think that's the problem because then the other yp tools would
not work perfectly.  But they do - ypwhich, ypcat, ypmatch all seem to
work just fine and at normal speed.  I've tried it with and without nscd
running.

This is the version I'm running.

I'm looking at the nsswitch.conf again - I'm wondering if the nis lookup
of hosts is broken in some way - that would explain the eventual
success, ie once the NIS has timed out.  I'll try putting the entries
as:

	files dns nis
instead of:
	files nis dns

This is not ideal for us because there are things in our nis hosts
tables which we don't necessarily make externally visible through the
DNS - mostly service based aliases.
