I might be very wrong on this one (hadn't encountered these errors myself)
but YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN error may be connected with the yellow pages
(NIS/NIS+). If such a system is in use on your cluster I'd bet it's the
culprit here. (If NIS/NIS+ sounds unfamiliar - it's a system allowing
single password/login on a group of machines. It's nice when it works but
I had the dubious pleasure to see it die... Quite a mess.)
