When attempting to create an NIS Slave Server, get the following error, see last line below. This machine es0071 also is VERY slow, even typing simple keystrokes on the console keyboard. After rebooting, the screen gets the error "yp_all -rpc clnt_call (TCP) failure", several times before the login screen appears. Other machines run as NIS Slave Servers ok. Any assistance would be appreciated.

root@es0071:/ # ypinit -s es0062
Installing the NIS data base will require that you answer
a few questions.
Questions will all be asked at the beginning of the procedure.

Do you want this procedure to quit on non-fatal errors? [y/n: n] n
OK, please remember to go back and redo manually
whatever fails. If you don't, some part of the system
(perhaps the NIS itself) won't work.

Can we destroy the existing /var/yp/es and its contents? [y/n: n] y
There will be no further questions.
The remainder of the procedure should take a few minutes,
to copy the data bases from es0062.
