I just did the same on netbsd-4.

# ypcat user
ypcat: no such map user.  Reason: RPC failure

# ypcat passwd | wc
      30      81    2014

Most interesting however is:

# ypwhich -m
ypwhich: clnt_call: localhost: netid.bynam: No such map in server's domain
ypwhich: clnt_call: localhost: protocols.bynam: No such map in server's domain
[...]

Apparently ypwhich -m is broken.
