ok.. I have a nice shiny new NIS server, debian potato, all setup, and
happy.  (this is a major upgrade from the SunOS 4.1.4 box :)
everything transfered smothly, and the clients are allready switched over
to the new server, but the only problem i've found so far is yppasswd.
the server is running yppasswdd, and it's supposedly working, but none of
the clients seem to think so:
yppasswd: yppasswdd not running on NIS master host

that's no fun :(

Thank You,
        Ben Kochie (ben at nerp.net)
