[Users] Does NIS work with OpenVZ?

[E Frank Ball]

Does NIS work with OpenVZ?  
ypbind just hangs when I start it:

# ./init.d/ypbind start
Binding to the NIS domain:                                 [  OK  ]
Listening for an NIS domain server.....

In /var/log/messages I get this:
ypbind[24574]: broadcast: RPC: Timed out.

I have ypbind and yp-tools installed.  The portmap is running.  The
hostname has the necessary permissions on the server.  "domainname"
returns the correct server name.

I have the NISDOMAIN set in /etc/sysconfig/network

In /etc/yp.conf I have:
domain xxxxxx broadcast
This works on non-virtual machines.
I also tried setting a server name, but it still hangs.

Our network uses an unusual netmask:  255.255.248.0
Could that be causing a problem?

There's nothing on the wiki about NIS.

My virtual machines are CentOS 4.
