I recently switched NIS master to 4.8-STABLE, and had some trouble.

To make long story short, I did:

1. edit /var/yp/ypservers to make it single array of slaves. For example,

	server1 server1
	server2 server2
	server3 server3
	...

	to

	server1
	server2
	server3
	...

2. cd /var/yp && make


Qurious, which of ypinit, yppoll is to be blamed.
