After my first summary, I received additional postings from
Peter Stern <Peter.Stern_at_weizmann.ac.il>
Arnold Sutter <Arnold.Sutter_at_udt.ch>
Steve Thompson <smt_at_NICS1.corning.com>
They all suggested to use the (undocumented) switch '-M' of yppush:
In /var/yp/Makefile on the NIS Master change
YPPUSH=$(YPDIR)/yppush
to
YPPUSH=$(YPDIR)/yppush -M
Since the problem appeared first in Digital UNIX 4.0, I wonder why
DEC (Compaq) didn't fix this until now ...
