In your /etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=servername
NISDOMAIN=domainname (NOT servername.domainame)
The ypserv script sets the domain name.
Make sure that the IP address of <servername> is defined in /etc/hosts
on the client machines or that they're on the same subnet as the server
and set to 'find' a server.

Subject: NIS problem
Hi
I have a strange problem in my RHEL4 ES server.
The server is setup as a NIS and NFS server, and all the clients (RHEL4
WS clients) mount their /home's on the server (and another shared
folder /media/export).
The server runs fine, but recently i had to restart the server and found
out that NIS did not start with the server (or started before the NIS
domain was set). I have written in /etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=Servername
NISDOMAIN=Servername.domainname
I have configured ypbind, yppasswdd, ypserv and ypxfrd to start when the
server boots. I used Webmin.
How can i be sure that the NIS domain name is set BEFORE the NIS servers
starts?
Regards
Bjorn Andersen
