Hi,

We are running a NIS server on FreeBSD 4.7. Clients running Gentoo can
not bind to the server. The ypbind on Gentoo client is  ypbind-1.19.1-r1.

Tests with NIS servrs running on Gentoo and Redhat machines do not show
any problem with the same Gentoo clients.

I tried to find version of ypserv installed on the machine. However, I
could not. Neither pkg_info nor /usr/sbin/ypserv provides any version
information.

Any other way to find out which version of ypserv is installed?

Simon
