Hi.

I have two NIS(Yellow Pages) doamins set up here at Wellesley.  An
RS/6000 serves a domain populated by other RS/6000s and a DECstation
5000/120 serves a domain of DECstations.  For availability, we have
each of these two machines as a slave of the other.  Until recently
things were going well.  Lately whenever the RS/6000 tries to execute
yppush to transfer a domain to the DECstation, yppush hangs.  Doing a
ps on the DECstation I can see that ypxfr is running, but it never
does the transfer.  If I run ypxfr manually on the DECstation, the
program crashes (segentation violation).  I recently upgraded from
Ultrix 4.2 to 4.2a and (although I'm not positive) I think that's when
my trouble started.  Has anyone else experienced this?
