Bug#834298: nis: problem appears to be in invocation in /etc/init.d/nis

[Joe Pfeiffer <joseph@pfeifferfamily.net>]

Package: nis
Version: 3.17.1-3+b1
Followup-For: Bug #834298

The problem appears to be in line 172 of /etc/init.d/nis:
	                --exec ${NET}/ypbind -- $broadcast ${YPBINDARGS}

If I execute this by hand (for my environment, which does not use
-broadcast and has empty YPBINDARGS), ie

/usr/sbin/ypbind --

I get the response

babs:~# ypbind --
Usage:
	ypbind [-broadcast | -ypset | -ypsetme] [-f configfile]
	  [-no-ping] [-broken-server] [-local-only] [-i ping-interval]
	  [-r rebind-interval] [-debug] [-verbose] [-n | -foreground]
	ypbind -c [-f configfile]
	ypbind --version

If I delete the -- from the invocation it works.
