The error was: Binding to the NIS domain: [OK] | Listening for an NIS domain server [FAILED]. Are the client and server on the same subnet? Listening mode is done with broadcasts, which require the server to be on the same net. Alternatively you can specify a particular server when you set it up. The Other possibility is that you have mistyped the NIS domain name. Client and server are on the same subnet. I check the NIS domain name for the server and client, same NIS domain name used. Under the client, i can ping the NIS server. When i execute ypwhich (on server and client), this error occurred, "Can't communicate with ypbind". When I execute ypbind, it fails. I'm using Redhat 9 for the server and client, and I'm also using the default yp-tools, ypserv, ypbind & yppasswd of Redhat 9.
