NIS Problem

I'm having an issue with NIS. I run the following:

./nisclient -i -d XXX.XXXX.XXX -h XXXX-XXXX

Everytime I do this with both my master and slave servers up and running and I go to reboot my client the client will hang after starting RPCBIND, and NIS Cachemanager. If I take my slave NIS server down and out of the picture I can successfully add the client. I could just build another slave NIS server and plug it in place. However, I would like to know why this is happening. I've taken the time to delete/add the credentials on the master server and have double/triple checked to make sure they are in the master and slave.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for the help.

Check out Configuring NIS+ clients - make sure you did all the steps needed. Insure client is known on NIS+ master and the nis+ master IP is in client's /etc/hosts file.
