Did you edit the file /etc/sysconfig/authconfig?
This is mandatory to have NIS properly running.
The entry "USENIS=yes" (without the quote) must exist to use NIS.
Cheers,

I need documentation on NIS client for an RH Enterprise
5.3 system.
Also please send any suggestions as to what we have
misconfigured
on our client.
We have a 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5xen system on which we are trying to
configure NIS client software.
Our NIS server is a Solaris system running SunOS 5.8.

Did you use system-config-authentication so that all
necessary files
would be
modified, or did you modify files by hand?
I modified by hand. I tried to open the system-config-network on
this particular system, but apparently there is a bug in the gui
program. I also like to modify the files by hand, so I can have a
better understanding of the process. We maintain various types of
operating systems here. Guis change with the systems, but the basic
unix structure stays the same.
