I assume that you are running NIS. If so, you must set the "B" flag in
/var/yp/Makefile to -b. Then remake NIS. Also you must change in
rc.local the ypserv call to ypserv -i (do this in all of your NIS
servers)...
I had this same frustrating problem with 4.0.1. This is documented
somewhere in the System & Network Administration number.
