Ok, I'm trying to get NIS working between 2 test systems (using old
kernels which shouldn't be broken by my recent changes!).

With 'ypserv -fl' running on system 'a', 'ypbind' on 'b' populates
/var/yp/binding/<domain>.version.

But 'ypcat user' just gives 'no such map user.name.  Reason: RPC failure'
on both systems, and immediately.
What haven't I done ?
