I'm running FC6 on an eMachines laptop. I'm trying to configure NIS

with the ypbind init script. When I try to start the init script, it
fails:
[root@proteus ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/ypbind start
Starting NIS service: [ OK ]
Binding NIS service: ......... [FAILED]
Shutting down NIS service: [ OK ]
However, I find that if I run the init script with the restart option,
it will often, but not always, succeed:
[root@proteus run]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/ypbind restart
Shutting down NIS service: [FAILED]
Starting NIS service: [ OK ]
Binding NIS service: ... [ OK ]
If I start ypbind by itself from a command line, it always succeeds. I
verify the successes and failures with ps, ypwhich and ypcat commands.
Anyone have a clue as to what is going on here? I've been looking for
some indication in some log, but haven't found any. The goal is to get
the init script to succeed on boot up. (The init script gives the same
messages at bootup as it does when run with "start" from the command
line.)
Thanks!

Try chkconfig ypbind on and when you reboot it will be on and stay on.
I chkconfig'ed it on at the start of all this. The problem seems to lie
in the init script itself. As I noted, the init script fails at boot and
when I run it from the command line with the "start" option.
Any idea how I can figure out what is happening in the init script? I
can't find any indication in any log files and when I tried stepping
through the commands on the command line, they all seemed to work.
