Description of problem:
If an NIS server is specified but unavailable,

Binding to the NIS domain:
and
Listening for an NIS domain server...
take too long. (Most time is lost in the second stage.)

Listening can take on the order of one full minute, which makes
rebooting to test networking-related problems an extremely
time-consuming activity.

This may be a problem with the initscripts; feel free to reassign.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create /etc/yp.conf with any entry (broadcast or a specific server)
2. Reboot without access to the NIS server (either no server in your
broadcast domain, or without a route to the specified server)
