I would greatly appreciate any help:

I have everything set up but when I run /usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m it stops
with the error

gmake[1]: *** No rule to make target '/etc/publickey', needed by
'publickey.byname'. Stop.

I don't have the newkey program installed as I don't know which package
it is in.

Thanks in advance.

Unless you want to share publickey with NIS the easiest solution might be
to modify /var/yp/Makefile. There is a comment in that file:

# If you don't want some of these maps built, feel free to comment
# them out from this list.

If you place a # in front of publickey that map will not be built.
