Hello world,

I got two replies, the first one (Glenn.Satchell@uniq.com.au) suggested to
remove the DIR=/var/yp entry and restart the server, because the argument
overrules the DIR setting in the Makefile. After doing so yppasswdd correctly
rebuild the maps, but however they were not propagated to the slave server.
The second reply (hessep@gb.swissbank.com) suggested to take a look at
ypservers. For some reason the entry for the slave server was missing. After
disassembling ypservers, adding the entry, and makedbm the maps were
propagated.
Thank you very much!
