On re-reading this, I realize I didn't emphasize my point that the
ypcat test should be run from the *iris*, as you didn't say that's
what you tried in the original post.

Also, you may need to stop and restart the inet daemon.  Or the 
inetd man page describes a signal you can send it to get it to 
restart, but I don't remember off the top-o-me-head.

good luck,
