The answer to using a ypset command was to use:
ypbind -ypset
to allow ypset to occur.
Some more questions:
1) I don't recall having to do this on SunOS 4.0.1 -- is this new?
2) If a ypserver your bound to goes down, does ypbind switch
automatically to new servers?
It seems reasonable to just startup all the ypbinds with the -ypset option...
NIS basically isn't secure...I think the security concerns are misguided...
