  I've got a 2.1.5 box that is running ypserv just fine.  I have a Solaris
2.5.1 box that uses it as a yp server.  If I do a "ypcat passwd" on Solaris
or FreeBSD I get the correct output.  If I do a "ypcat hosts" on FreeBSD
I get the correct output.  If I do a "ypcat hosts" on Solaris, the list is
duplicated several times.  I'm worried that something is broken and I'm
not sure on what.  I figure there is something wrong with the Solaris YP
client or the FreeBSD server that messes up the list ( but why only hosts?? ).

  Also, does anybody have a YP makefile addition for adding the /etc/aliases
file?
