This is not really an answer to your question but we have a RH 9 NIS
server and FC2 clients. Periodically ypserv just goes away. We have a
crontab script that checks on the server if ypserv is running every
minute or so and if it has stopped it restarts ypserv. It would be more
of a pain but you could do a similar thing with ypbind on the clients.
We also could not find out why ypserv is stopping.
