I think these two error messages are unrelated. Note that they come from
different processes, 4 minutes apart. I was troubleshooting a problem last
week (on an fc8 machine) and saw this error message from avahi and sent
email to the list asking about it, no one replied. Google was unusually
unhelpful in my effort to understand what it means.

You're not very specific. I am guessing that NIS is not working? Can you
nudge it into making more error messages, maybe execute 'ypcat passwd'?
Result of '/etc/init.d/ypbind status'?
