>Description:

man 4 yp says

     FreeBSD's server-side support is based on GPL'ed code originally written
     for Linux. It really needs its own implementation that is not subject to
     the GPL.

wpaul's ypserv code went into the tree many moons ago.

  manuals for there.

- written for Linux. It really needs its own implementation that is not
- subject to the GPL.
- .Pp
  Neither Sun nor this author have found a clean way to handle
  the problems that occur when ypbind cannot find its server
  upon bootup.
