Problems with NIS on RedHat Enterprise 5.3 system.

[Barry Brimer]

Is there a firewall present?  SELinux?  If there is SELinux running, run 
"getsebool -a | grep yp" and make sure your booleans are set to allow the 
proper things.  What does your /etc/pam.d/system-auth say?  Has it been 
updated for NIS?

What kind of bug did you run into with system-config-network?
