Yup, it was him.
The problem lies in the way that the domainname is never actually set.
Instead ypserv picks up the environment var that is created in the
/etc/init.d/ypserv script by sourceing /etc/sysconfig/network. The var
is obviously only available inside the shell "session", so logging in
and running "nisdomainname" from the console will yield a "(none)"
response. Also running make in /var/yp will result in a subdir called
(none).
So in short I had actully put in the correct setting into
/etc/sysconfig/network, however there was now way to tell from the
console that the domain name was setup correctly.
I added the following to the start function in the /etc/init.d/ypserv
script.
# Set the NIS domain name
if [ -n "$NISDOMAIN" ]; then
action "Setting NIS domain name $NISDOMAIN: " domainname $NISDOMAIN
else
domainname ""
fi
