I'm trying to get my NIS server up and running (for the first time). After I launch ypserv, I get the following:

Code:

# rpcinfo -p
   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    ...
    100009    1   udp    805  yppasswdd
    100004    2   udp   1004  ypserv
    100004    1   udp   1004  ypserv
    100004    2   tcp   1007  ypserv
    100004    1   tcp   1007  ypserv

# rpcinfo -u localhost ypserv
rpcinfo: RPC: Timed out
program 100004 version 1 is not available
rpcinfo: RPC: Timed out
program 100004 version 2 is not available

what gives?
