Ypinit fails in Solaris 10

I am trying to set up a NIS client Solaris 10 for the first time. Ypinit fails with the errors:

svcadm: Pattern 'network/nis/server:default' doesn't match any instances

svcadm: Pattern 'network/nis/xfr:default' doesn't match any instances

svcadm: Pattern 'network/nis/passwd:default' doesn't match any instances

svcadm: Pattern 'network/nis/update:default' doesn't match any instances

svcs -a doesn;t list any of those services. How do I create them? I have the SUNWnisr and SUNnisu packes on the host.

Turns out the NIS server packages are required for the client to work. Installing SUNypu and SUNWypr tool care of the svcadm errors.

Then, the network/nis.client service got disabled every time I ran ypinit -c.

Turns out the user had a "securenets" file on the master that was not allowing access. After fiddling with svcadm for a while, everything seems to be working.
