They do force it if you are their customer.  Their setup scripts tipically
give you three choices:
	1. YP server
	2. YP client
	3. not networked at all

On most of their machines, you can do without YP, but it takes a lot of
work to strip off all the stuff that refers to it, replace the libraries
with BIND versions, etc.

The 386i cannot be used without YP at all.
