Hi...

Recently I started to install 8 BSD machines as yp client to a 
sparc running sun OS 4.1.3.(A0)

One(A1) of these BSDs is on the same subnet as the yp server, the others 
is not(B1, B2....). Now the problem is clients on different subnet could 
not bind to the yp server

I have enable -tpset option in ypbind, but it always return errors when
running "ypset"...:(

    A0        A1                B1      B2      B3

     B1, B2, B3 could not bind to yp server A0

Any help or suggestion would be much appreciated, 
thanks for your kindly help...:)
