If you are changing NIS domain names, you must run nisdomainname to do
it. /etc/defaultdomain is only read on boot by Slackware's boot scripts
(rc.yp, IIRC).

Try this:

* shut down all yp* services on clients and server
* run nisdomainname myname on server and clients
* start ypserv on the server
* start ypbind on the clients

What does nisdomainname (without the name) say? If it has your old
domainname, then something else is b0rked.
