I neglected to mention that the user also reported mail was resolving
names correctly. This is what led me to believe it was FTP-specific.

The problem, as many people pointed out, was the "-b" flag in the NIS
makefile, which was commented out.

Other suggestions included making sure there was a ypbind running and
running ldconfig.

Thanks to all who replied.
