:-), yes I am, but mild adds like this are easy conflicts to handle.

I don't like automagically adding a flag to another command if some
knob is turned on, it prevents someone from turning it off :-(.  A
comment saying that if you turn X on you should probably turn or add
option Y to Z is what I have found to be the most flexiable thing to
do in /etc/sysconfig.

If there is not currently a ypbind_flags, don't worry, there is in
my version.  Any and all /etc/rc commands that can take arguments
now have *_flag options in /etc/sysconfig in the version I am trying
to get debugged here (yes, it is currently full of just about as
many subtle bugs as we have currently, but you can tweak it to death :-).
