Yep.  This is on a small lan - /etc/hosts acts as local dns.

The error is the one when ypinit -s server hasn't been run.   I've had two 
successful runs on 32-bit C5 adding said 32-bit hosts to the network, but 
this one 64-bit C5 system is giving me the NIS problems.  I can ssh, ping, 
and doing anything else I want.  Again, the 32-bit hosts work fine against 
the server.   This one 64-bit machine is simply giving me the NIS 
headaches.

Thanks for any/all ideas.
