call to rpc.ypxfrd failed: RPC: Can't decode result

Hi,

I am facing a problem with Linux NIS master and slave.

### NIS Master ####
[root@xxxx root]# uname -a
Linux xxxx 2.4.21-4.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Oct 3 17:52:56 EDT 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


#### NIS Slave #####

[root@NISSLAVE ~]# uname -a
Linux NISSLAVE 2.6.9-5.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 19:29:47 EST 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


I am trying to make Linux RHEL 4 (64bit) as slave to a NIS Master running RHEL 3. When I run the

# ypinit -s

Transferring auto.home...
Trying ypxfrd ...rpc.ypxfrd doesn't support the needed database type
call to rpc.ypxfrd failed: RPC: Can't decode result

(failed, fallback to enumeration)

Transferring mail.aliases...
Trying ypxfrd ...rpc.ypxfrd doesn't support the needed database type
