Clearly, a good idea :-) When I reboot, the NIS processes don't start
automatically. rc.yp is invoked by rc.inet2, and it is marked as
executable.

I found the following in /var/log/syslog:
Feb 19 08:10:23 enterprise ypbind[2271]: Unable to register (YPBINDPROG,
YPBINDV
ERS, udp).

It works fine when I manually start it by running rc.yp as root. I
expect this means that there is some issue around the order in which
things are done at boot time. I'll investigate more later in the day.

Also, I have to unmount and remount the NFS file system on the client.
However, this is a separate (NFS) issue.
