When you do the ypinit -s, what name do you provide for the server?
It must match the name the server expects, so if the server host name is nis, then you do
ypinit -s nis.domainname
I have successfully done ypinit -s ip_address or hostname on several 32-bit clients and they've all been successful.
Why are you running ypinit -s on clients?
You only need to do this if you want to set up slave servers.
NIS clients shouldn't need to do anything special on clients to bind to a server, all that needs to be done is to set up /etc/yp.conf
