rpcinfo reports 'No remote programs registered'

All these machines are running RH 6.1 (kernel 2.2.17-14) on HP
Visualize hardware.

I'm trying to set up a slave NIS server and having real problems.
The master NIS server (on ursatz) works fine, but there seem to be
RPC problems with the slave server (yodel). When I run
rpcinfo -p yodel on yodel, I get:

program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100007 2 udp 922 ypbind
100007 1 udp 922 ypbind
100007 2 tcp 925 ypbind
100007 1 tcp 925 ypbind
100021 1 udp 1024 nlockmgr
100021 3 udp 1024 nlockmgr
100024 1 udp 729 status
100024 1 tcp 731 status

But when I run the same command on ursatz, I get
'No remote programs registered.'

rpcinfo -p ursatz returns the same results on both machines:

program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100007 2 udp 922 ypbind

100004 1 udp 777 ypserv
100004 2 tcp 780 ypserv
100004 1 tcp 780 ypserv

I can transfer the NIS maps to yodel with ypxfr (on yodel) one by one, but
naturally when I try to use yppush on ursatz I get the error:

# yppush group.bygid
yodel.som.ohio-state.edu: RPC: Program not registered

Any suggestions?

All these machines are running RH 6.1 (kernel 2.2.17-14) on HP
Visualize hardware.

I'm trying to set up a slave NIS server and having real problems. The

master NIS server works fine, but when I run ypinit on the
a machine I'm trying to set up as an NIS slave server, I get:

[root@slave]# /usr/lib/yp/ypinit -s master
Can't enumerate maps from ursatz. Please check that it is running.

Both machines can now see each other's RPC services:

[root@slave]# rpcinfo -p master

[root@master]# /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -p slave

Check to make sure that your slave has been configured to be a NIS slave first
before you issue the ypinit problem. You should be able to confirm this by
trying to do a "ypcat passwd" from the slave and see a list of the users in
the /etc/passwd file on the master. Once you have got this, you should be
able to issue the command: /usr/lib/ypinit -s master/ursatz.

The error you have got appears that the slave is unable to form a NIS
connction with the master server called ursatz based on the error message.

See ya
