I recommend going to ML4, there are significant NIS fixes which are
necessary if your maps are big. My group maps won't even build at ML3.

Does the server work with AIX clients? If so the problem is likely
to be on your Linux client. But you give no details at all about it. Linux
clients do work with AIX NIS servers so it is presumably the configuration.

If this is the case then a Linux newsgroup is the place to ask.
Comp.os.linux.network is probably the best. Include the relevant lines
from /etc/nsswitch.conf, and if they say "compat" (I suggest
not using "compat" but "files nis" instead) whether you have put the
terminating lines in /etc/passwd and /etc/group (as you do in AIX; you
don't need them if you use "files nis"), what is in /etc/yp.conf, how
ypbind is invoked, what "rpcinfo -p", "ypwhich" and "ypcat passwd" return,
whether you have any firewall active and of course your Linux
distribution, version and kernel version.

Would you care to rephrase that? I don't understand it.

That should be comp.os.linux.networking. Sorry.
