Bug#834298: nis: Unable to ypbind with nis version 3.17.1-3+b1

[Christoph Terasa <christoph@kohlio.de>]

Package: nis
Followup-For: Bug #834298

Dear Maintainer,

after upgrading to nis 3.17.1-3+b1, I am unable to ypbind to our NIS
server, neither via broadcasting, nor by specifying the NIS server.

ypbind in nis version 3.17.1-3 binds successfully.


kind regards,
Christoph Terasa
