Hello,

an new version of the collection of programs to turn your linux
machine into a NIS client is available. It fixes a nasty bug in
ypbind, which caused a segfault if you used /etc/yp.conf. 

Thank you for all the bug reports, and sorry, if I did not answer a
mail - I'm a bit short on time and get a lot of mail, so sometimes I
forget to answer...

Greetings, Swen
