I am trying to set up NIS on my home network. When I run ypinit -m I get
the following error messages:

A little history on the machine might help:
It began as a 486 running RedHat 5.2 and served as my PDC. I upgraded samba
for a while and then upgraded to RH 6.0. I then changed the motherboard to
a P166 and upgraded to 6.2. I installed the following packages for NIS:
yp-tools 2.4
ypbind 1.7 is in /usr/sbin and in /etc/rc.d/init.d
ypserv 1.3.9 is in /usr/sbin and in /etc/rc.d/init.d
make 3.78 (never had it in the original install)
The machine only has 16 MB or RAM, so I cannot install RH 7.x.
I attached the print out from the ypinit -m command

At this point, we have to construct a list of the hosts which will run NIS
servers. 486.spinti is in the list of NIS server hosts. Please continue to add
the names for the other hosts, one per line. When you are done with the
list, type a <control D>.
next host to add: 486.spinti
next host to add:
The current list of NIS servers looks like this:
486.spinti
Is this correct? [y/n: y] We need some minutes to build the databases...

Please try it by hand.
486.spinti has been set up as a NIS master server.
Now you can run ypinit -s 486.spinti on all slave server.
