Dear Friends
 I had configured NIS server as well as NIS client
 NIS server start successefully , but NIS client gives following error
 1) Starting Portmap                                                      [ok]
 2) Binding to the NIS domain                                        [ok[
 3) Listening for an NIS domain server                           [failed]

Why I got error in third  
 I read documentation from many URL including TLDP.org
 Also read linux bible  
 please anybudy help me
 Regards

Actually, In this case Client failed to connect to NIS server:
 
U have to started 3 services on NIS server

1. service portmap restart
2. service ypserverd restart   { I haven't remember its ypserverd or ypserver, plz check}
3. service yppasswdd restart
4. service ypbind restart

And start these service after giving NISSERVER and corresponding Nis domain name on client end using authconfig command
1. service portmap restart
2. service yppasswdd restart
3. service ypbind restart

I thk It will work after this.
