Hello.  If you are running SunOS 3.x, ypserv -i is indeed the solution (it
worked for me).  If you are running SunOS 4.0, you need to install SunOS
4.0.1, since a bug in ypserv prevented the code from working.  After
installing 4.0.1, you need to go into the Makefile for yp (/var/yp) and
add a -b to the makedbm for the hosts yp map (also, drop the -i from
ypserv), the remake your hosts yp map (or all the maps, if you're lazy
like me).  Look at the makedbm documentation for more information.
