Symptoms are that ypserv is useful for a _very_ short time after
starting. I found that if I restarted ypserv and then ypbind on the NIS
server I had time to type 'ypcat hosts' twice and get results before the
following try hung.

This is also the case for RHEL4 U3 (of course); I found the (short term)
fix on the web. Downgrade ypserv-2.13-9.x86_64 to ypserv-2.13-5.x86_64.
Works for me.

Cheers,
 Pann
