This nameserver madness is Sun's crime against humanity.  Attention
Sun: "rm -rf /usr/src/{yp,nis}"!  There are a few ways to tweak things
(fixing either libc or NIS) to get correct nameservice; if you feel
like screwing with that you can achieve a quick fix by adding
"-lresolv" to all your links to load the resolver based get* routines
instead of the ones in libc.
