I think that as of 4.0, use of the name server is not triggered by "-i" on
ypserv, but rather by adding "-b" to the makedbm for the hosts map.  Also,
there is at least one patch to ypserv that you might need to make it work
(sorry, I don't have the number handy, but I think it was pretty popular,
so Sun should know what you need).
