I have a problem whith ypbind and ypset on NetBSD0.9. We are on a class C network,
and the yp servers are not on the same sub_network than the NetBSDs.
When startig ypbind -ypset, wait a minute or two, and then make a ypset
myserver.ensta.fr (or its IP adress), ypwhich respond: 
localhost.ensta.fr, and, of course, the yp fuctions don't work (ypcat respond:
RPC: service not registered. Of course, localhost is not server.)
So I have tested a Netbsd with an ypserver on the same sub_network. ypbind -ypset
find the server (ypwhich respond betty.ensta.fr), and the yp fuctions work well.
Then i type ypset betty.ensta.fr, and ypwhich now respond localhost.ensta.fr,
and, of course, the yp fonctions stop work. 
I thick this is a bug from ypset or ypbind. Has someone an idea?
Thanks
