I'm making my first attempt at configuring my RH9.x workstation as a NIS
server. verything looks good but I have one outstanding issue. Its with
the output of the rpcinfo command.

[lnx03]# rpcinfo -u localhost ypserv
rpcinfo: RPC: Timed out
program 100004 version 1 is not available
rpcinfo: RPC: Timed out
program 100004 version 2 is not available
[lnx03]#

But when I execute the following:

[lnx03]# rpcinfo -u lnx03 ypserv
program 100004 version 1 ready and waiting
program 100004 version 2 ready and waiting
[lnx03]#

Should it matter that the rpcinfo against the localhost fails knowing that
my NIS server is "lnx03"?
