FWIW, NIS was also partly broken until this change...

However... FWIW, there's still something wrong. Unfortunately, I'm unable
to test anything other than NetBSD, since I have nothing else around, but
my master NIS server can't seem to accept password change requests from
systems that don't have the new rpcbind stuff.

Data:

On all systems, ypcat now works. (Until the rpc_soc.c fix, it didn't
work anywhere.) On two systems that have rpcbind, I can change passwords.
However, on one system running 1.4.2 and one system running -current
from December, I can't change passwords.

My assumption is that other non-NetBSD systems of various sorts will no
longer be able to change passwords in NIS... (I used the -L and -i flags,
incidentally, with no change.)
