I ended up logging a call with DEC^H^H^HCompaq^H^H^H^H^H^HHp's tech
support and found out the following information:
According to the tech support guy who handled my case:
On a Cluster, or at least 5.1A cluster, ypxfr communicates through the
event system (EVM). I needed to stop and restart evm (/sbin/init.d/evm
stop ; /sbin/init.d/evm start). He also fixed another problem that had
been plaguing me for a long time -- NIS map updates would take a long time
to process and give me an error message about not issuing or receiving a
"Clear map" message from the ypxfr or ypserv -- sorry don't remember
exactly what the error message was. The solution to that was the need to
have an entry for EVERY network on the cluster in the /var/yp/securenets
file, not just the ones for the the ethernet interfaces, but also the
memory channel interconnect and loopback networks.
