I received many replies...some asked why I don't want to reinit
the slave. Well, when we did it with the first NIS domain,
something got fouled up...and since the users here don't like
glitches while they are working at their workstations, I don't
want to try it again.

Anyhow, the solution is to find a way to get a copy or semblance
of a copy of the new map to the slave. This can be done by
using rdist, ftp, touch, or ypxfer. I used ypxfer and it worked
just fine. (...and the reason why I used ypxfer is because I
tried (or thought I tried) it with the other NIS domain and it didn't
work. But all is well, thanks to everyone.

I won't include excerpts from the replies because there are just too
many. But here are the people who I need to thank:
