ypwhich is now fixed.. that ypbindproc_domain error was failing due to
my nsswitch.conf file having wrong attributes, i didn't use the default
passwd: compat but instead used another settings i found reading a
redhat admin book..

would someone be able to eloborated on what the compat stands for?
thanks
