Re: passwd NIS+ YP compat mode

Yoshinori's patch for FreeBSD NIS clients of Solaris NIS+ servers in YP compatibility mode works for me.

Please commit this before 5 becomes -STABLE (I'm shocked the bug has made it into 5.1).

Solaris NIS+ servers in YP compatibility is a very common configuration in larger enterprises.

I hope this patch will solve this problem for users living under NIS+
servers.

I guess yp_order() is used to check masswd.by* or master.passwd.by*
databese really exists. yp_master() can be used for this purpose.  But
I do not know the cost of yp_master() compared to yp_order().
