I think I have solved my problem. When I set up these machines and NIS+ I
did not populate the rpc and service tables. For 3 months things worked
fine without these tables until the other day when the machine "golem"
started complaining. I didn't think it had to do with these tables since
everything seemed to work fine without them. But after a note from Peter
Bloomfield I populated these tables from the /etc files. Now everything
seems to work as usual.

Thanks for your help. A list of respondents follows the original posting.
