NIS

HI all...I'm having a NIS problem I can't figure out.  I've done this
before on 4.7, and countless other times on RedHat...but this is
evading me.  I'm trying to re-make my databases since I've added a
user, I go into /var/yp and run "make mynis" and get "`mynis' is up to
date.", which I know can't be right.  I've got to be missing something
somewhere.
     I've added the line to the Makefile "MASTER_PASSWD =
/etc/master.passwd" so that YP uses the file in /etc...or at
least...that's all I recall having to do on 4.7, and doctored up the
sections that involve the passwd files changed it to only look at UIDs
greater then 3.
     Can someone point out my probably obvious mistake?

Thanks,
--Brian
