Can't get NIS/YP to work remotely, only locally


portmap, ypbind, ypserv and rpc.yppasswdd (in that order) are running on the server. portmap, ypbind and rpc.yppasswdd are running on the client. I have already run /usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m on the server.

The yp* commands (ypcat, yppasswd) work when run locally on the server,but when run from the client, I get domain not bound errors. eg do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound, yppasswd: can't find the master ypserver: RPC failure on NIS

The most success I've got is when explicitly specifying the server (-h option)
with ypcat which works.

Code:
NIS client (myclient) config:
rpcinfo -p myserver output:
   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  rpcbind
    100000    2   udp    111  rpcbind
    100004    2   udp    791  ypserv
    100004    1   udp    791  ypserv
    100004    2   tcp    794  ypserv
    100004    1   tcp    794  ypserv
    100007    2   udp    794  ypbind
    100007    1   udp    794  ypbind
    100007    2   tcp    797  ypbind
    100007    1   tcp    797  ypbind
    100009    1   udp    796  yppasswdd

rpcinfo -p localhost output:
   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  rpcbind
    100000    2   udp    111  rpcbind
    100007    2   udp    794  ypbind
    100007    1   udp    794  ypbind
    100007    2   tcp    797  ypbind

I solved it. Was a firewall problem. However, the next question is: do rpc daemons bind to random ports, or is there a way to have them listen on a fixed port so that I can determine how to configure my filtering rules?
