RPC error possibly ypserv fault?

Hi

I'm running RedHat6.0 and have installed:

ypbind-3.3-20
yp-tools-2.3.1
ypserv-1.3.6.91-1

On running ypcat passwd nothing happens (no error messages, no list of users).  The domainname is set correctly, and ypwhich returns the name of the ypserver.  NIS client users are unable to logon.  rpcinfo -u localhost ypserv gives:

rpcinfo: RPC: Timed Out
program 100004 version 1 is not available
rpcinfo: RPC: Timed Out
program 100004 version 2 is not available

but strangely, rpcinfo -u <hostname> ypserv gives:
program 100004 version 1 ready and waiting
program 100004 version 2 ready and waiting

The rpc.yppasswdd, ypbind (master), ypbind (slave) and ypserv daemons are all running.

Any ideas?
Many thanks
Roy
