The server belongs to the IT dept so I'll give this a check.  I had just 
assumed that ypserv was running... (probably not the best assumption, 
eh?).  My client was running ypbind, but it didn't tell me it couldn't 
bind (kind of strange).  Anyway, thanks for the tip - another pair of 
eyes *always* helps :)
