this was my problem :
> since I've installed Solaris 2.6 on my sparc5 I'm getting this message
> from time to time :
> cron[12612]: yp_all - RPC clnt_call (transport level) failure: RPC:

I got no answers from sun managers but one from Sun itself. And it sorted the
problem out. Here it is :
> ... bug 4011531 ypserv runs out of filed descriptors to workaround,
> increase the FD limit in the yp startup script. add this to the script

The script to edit is /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstart.
Hope it helps,
