I'm successfully using YP on a 6.0 client to a Solaris server but not
a diskless client, so if there are any problems I imagine it would lie
with NFS. I seem to recall there were some problems with file locking in
Linux 2.2's NFS, I don't know if they have been solved. RH6.0 uses the
kernel space NFS server, maybe you could try the user space NFS server
to see if that makes any difference.
