/etc/rc.d/init.d/ypbind starts ypbind with -broadcast option. This may be annoying when other machines in the net have restricted access to yp services. In this case, all such machines will syslog message similar to the following: connect from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to callit(ypserv): request from unauthorized host I suggest to omit -broadcast flag and generate /etc/yp.conf file with ypserver option(s): systems with multiple NIS domains are rare IMO and such a defaults are more convenient for more usual setups.
This is fixed in later ypbind packages.
