I am attempting to diagnose a rather strange NIS problem occuring on
a 930 we have here. From time to time a message such as

cannot find /etc/yp/somedomain/passwd.byname: No such map in domain

appears on our console (thats not a direct quote, but its the same general 
idea). The problem is - our 930 is not a server for somedomain. Obviously
some poor machine thinks we are, however. Just who this is, and how it
learns it, I don't know. I had hoped that logging would tell me something.
I do not want to keep a sniffer tied up for a week diagnosing this.

I stopped ypserv, created /etc/yp/ypserv.log (which the manual indicates
is the log file) and restarted ypserv. So far ... no dice. Nothing has
been logged to the file. At least a few matches have occured and one map
has been remade and pushed - nothing in the log file. So, the question is
does logging really work? If so, what gets logged?

thanks in advance.
