I am trying to setup NIS on Solaris 9 and am having no luck. Errors out: make: Warning: Target `all' not remade because of errors Current working directory /var/yp *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `k' Error running Makefile.

Have you set the domainname?
Have you ran ypinit? (-m -s or -c)
Make sure your nsswitch.conf file is set for NIS

Yes, I have followed the document instructions given by Sun. Domain name has been set and I've copied nsswitch.nis to nsswitch.conf.

So what I understand is, when you run ypinit, you are getting errors. Which map is it erroring out on? Or is it erroring out in all of them?

The error above is where it bombs out. I can't be sure it's even a map file that is the problem. At first, I thought there were problems with the make command cause I've had that happen in the past, but I used GNU make and even that didn't work. Setting up NIS is pretty basic, so I'm just wondering what it could be since the install seems pretty basic.
