Thanks to all who responded - particulary Koen Peeters who got it right.

The cause of the problem:
The clocks were out of synch by about 30 seconds.

The Solution:
Synchronise the clocks:
cantor# rdate gauss

The Problem:
>System:
> Sparc20 Sol2.4, NIS+ Root Master Server, "gauss"
> Sparc4 Sol2.4, NIS+ Root Replica Server, "cantor"
>
>The network between these two machines is being swamped by their conversation
>(extract from snoop included below).

> gauss -> cantor.maths.abdn.ac.uk NIS+ C IBlist
"hosts.org_dir.maths.abdn." [name = "abel"]
