Anyone else running NIS?  Anyone else have the problem where for some
unknown, ungodly reason, ypserv stops responding?

ypclient% ypwhich
ypserver
ypclient% ypwhich -m
[hang]

ypserver% ypwhich
ypserver
ypserver% ypwhich -m
[hang]^C
ypserver% sh /etc/init.d/ypserv restart
Stopping ypserv
Starting ypserv
ypserver% sh /etc/init.d/ypbind restart
Stopping ypbind
Starting ypbind
ypserver% ypwhich -m
...maps get enumerated here...

ypclient% sh /etc/init.d/ypbind restart
Stopping ypserv
Starting ypserv
ypclient% ypwhich -m
...maps get enumerated here...



This seems to happen about once every three days or so.

ypclient is a P2/300, 96MB core, running 1.5E kernel and -current
	from 14 September 2000

ypserver is a SPARCstation 5/170, 64MB core, running 1.5E kernel
	and -current from 8 September 2000
