Problem Description:

  Bug 1046416:

  If you bring a ypserver down into single user and then boot it into
  multi user by either typing control D or reboot, the yp clients
  will take a long time to rebind to the server.

********************* WARNING ******************************

  This is a new version of ypbind that never uses the NIS 
  binding file to cache the servers binding. This will have
  the effect of fixing the current symptom. However, it might
  degrade the overall performance of the system when the 
  server is unavailable. 

*************************************************************

INSTALL::

As root and for the correct architecture directory.


Kill the currently running ypbind:

ps aux|grep ypbind

mv /usr/etc/ypbind /usr/etc/ypbind.FCS

Install the new version of ypbind:

cp `arch`/ypbind /usr/etc
