You want to change your /var/yp/Makefile line for YPPUSH from
YPPUSH=$(YPDIR)/yppush

There were some "me too"'s, and some other advice from:
Eli Burke <eburke_at_cslab.vt.edu>
BigRedDog <ckrieger_at_latrade.com>
Dick Abraham <abrahad_at_govonca.gov.on.ca>
(recommends setting up slave server with "Allow local ypset requests only"
to get password changes pushed immediately instead of after about 30 min)
David Warren <warren_at_atmos.washington.edu>
(recommends listing the NIS master in the missing file)
Mike Iglesias <iglesias_at_draco.acs.uci.edu>
Larry Griffith <larry_at_garfield.wsc.mass.edu>
Francois Zimmermann <Francois.Zimmermann_at_lebs.cnrs-gif.fr>
(recommends not to post NIS domain names and NIS server names to a
world-readable mailing list)
Peter Stern <peter_at_wiscpa.weizmann.ac.il>
============================
My original question was:
Since my upgrade to DEC unix 4.0b, after rebuilding the
NIS databases by doing 'make' in /usr/var/yp I everytimes
get the following message:
Map 'ypslaves.fphsv01.physik.uni-karlsruhe.de' is empty for domain 'xyz'
