That's from the startup, indicates normal start. What is output from

# /etc/init.d/ypbind status

after the ypcat fails? Is rpcbind running (/etc/init.d/rpcbind status)?

I am running fc9, but I doubt this has changed.

Also check the logs on the server side for any unusual entry mentioning this
problem client.


HTH,
