yes the NIS server is running. /etc/rc.d/init.d/ypbind restart gives this:
Shutting down NIS services:    [FAILED]
Binding to the NIS domain:     [OK]
Listening for an NIS domain server................... [FAILED]

nisdomainname gives correct domain name.


We have the Sever filesystems NFS mounted on the clients. I can see
now that this NFS mounting is not working for the clients. While the
clients tries to mount the NFS filesystem, it gives this error:

Mounting NFS filesystem: mount : RPC : Port mapper failure - RPC: unable
to receive

Thanks..
