Strange NIS behaviour

[Pierre Blanchet <Pierre.Blanchet@emi.u-bordeaux.fr>]

	I'm running Debian 1.3.1 on 55 machines here, and they all have the
same problem:

$ps aux|grep yp
blanchet  5008  0.0  1.0   912   328  p0 S     14:28   0:00 grep yp

Ok, ypbind does not run (it crashes often when NIS server shuts down).

$ypwhich
can't clnt_call: Can't communicate with ypbind

Ok.

$ypcat passwd
[... my whole passwd map ...]

     I don't understand why, ypbind is not running but NIS functions
still work ?

nis version:
    2.20-1

libc version:
    5.4.33-6


    Thanks

	Pierre Blanchet.
