Thanks to every who responded, especially Casper Dik,
KWhite@talisman-energy.com,
and Johnie Stafford.

Patch 104468-06 is needed in my case. Apparently rpc.nisd was changed
in 2.6. Some of you suggested the trailing dot is needed. But if you
changed
defaultdomain to fully qualified, the AdmSuite would not be able to
access
the NIS+ tables.

hw> Is there something I missed during the setup of the NIS+ domain?
