Hi

I suspect that the yppasswd command gets the name of the yp master from 
the yp slave.  The name of the ypmaster is in the yp map that is 
transfered to the slave from the master.  If you do a 
/usr/lib/yp/makedbm -u /var/yp/<ypdomainname>/passwd.byname and search 
for YP_MASTER_NAME you will find the fully qualified name of your ypmaster.
