Does anyone of you successfully implemented NIS using Redhat 9?
Yes.
I've already finished setting-up the NIS server and the client.
How did you do that? I recommend that you use authconfig, if you did not. It'll manage the yp.conf and nsswitch files for you.
When I'm trying to connect the client during startup, this error occurred:
Listening for an NIS domain server ..... [FAILED].
Portmap based services will usually not work if your firewall is up. Issue 'service iptables stop' and try again. If that works, then you'll need to add an iptables rule that allows unconditional access to your host from the NIS server in /etc/sysconfig/iptables.
