Thanks for the responses. The following from Tom Crummey (tom@sees.bangor.ac.uk)provided the fix:

> Master passwd file is /etc/yp/passwd; no 'root' or default system entries

> On NIS master executed: '/usr/etc/rpc.yppasswdd /etc/yp/passwd -m passwd'

This could be the problem:

Do /usr/etc/rpc.yppasswdd /etc/yp/passwd -m passwd DIR=/etc/yp
                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^
                                                   previously omitted

Note:
The example on page 490 of the SUN Network and Comm. Administration Manual
(in the box about 2/3 down the page) should read:

"/usr/etc/rpc.yppasswdd /var/etc/passwd -m \
   passwd DIR=/var/etc" # NOT "DIR=/var/yp/domainname"
