Are you having problems with ypbind (client) or with ypserv (server)?

I had quite some amount of problems in getting ypbind going with FC11, 
until I found, I now have to fill /etc/yp.conf and to add NISDOMAIN to 
/etc/sysconfig/network.

In FC10, setting NISDOMAIN in /etc/sysconfig/network had been sufficient.
