I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.6 + those patches that are suppose to show up as
2.1.7 someday.

ypbind will not bind with more than about 30 interface aliases (as in
'ifconfig x.x.x.x alias' for web hosting).  The portmapper forks like mad
until 'Cannot fork' messages show up in the log and until I kill ypbind. 
Anyone else using yp and many interfaces without this problem?  Or if you
have this problem, what's the fix? 

Thanks.

Ron
