  Modified:    lib/libc/yp  yplib.c
  Log:
  The ypprot_err() function incorrectly maps YP_NODOM to YPERR_NODOM.
  Strange as it sounds, it should map to YPERR_DOMAIN instead.
  
  The YP_NODOM protocol error code is generally returned by ypserv when you
  ask it for data from a domain that it doesn't support. By contrast,
  the YPERR_NODOM error code means 'local domain name not set.'
  Consequently, this incorrect mapping leads to yperr_string() generating
  a very confusing error message. YPERR_DOMAIN says 'couldn't
  bind to a server which serves this domain' which is much closer
  to the truth.
