Problem Binding to Nis server

[Schott, Erik J Mr ANOSC/FCBS]

Hi Andrew.  Type "domainname bsaeg", minus the quotes, at the command prompt
and see if your NIS clients can bind.  You may have to stop and start ypbind
to accomplish this.

After that, run ypwhich to make sure you are communicating with the NIS
server.

Good luck.

Using one machine as an example it says none when i do type domainname it
should say bsaeg. Below are a few files if you see something wrong anybody
let me know. Also does anyone know how i can get the machines that have
hung back to a command line so i can make changes if needed.

[root at lin5 sysconfig]# domainname
(none)


/etc/hosts

# that require network functionality will fail.

if you type domainname on both server and client, what
