Greetings, all,
I sent the following message yesterday:

>Did you remember to restart ypserv on the master?
Bingo! We had not done that. Once we did, everything worked fine.
I suppose that if we had been sufficiently desperate, we could have
read the instructions, followed everything step by step, and found
that ourselves.
Thank you to everyone involved.
Regards,
Eric Sisson
