ypbind bug fix update

An updated ypbind package that fixes various bugs is now available.

This package provides the ypbind daemon. The ypbind daemon binds NIS
clients to a NIS domain. Systems running NIS client programs must have
ypbind running.

This updated package fixes the following bugs:

* after a NIS server change, for example, after a server failure, ypbind
corrupted files in the "/var/yp/binding/" directory. As well, these files
were not updated, possibly causing old information to be retained. In these
situations, glibc attempted to read the incorrect information, resulting in
errors such as "RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused".

* by default, NIS clients pinged NIS servers every 20 seconds. In large
deployments, this added extra load, and could possibly cause a denial of
service. In this updated package, a new "ypbind" option, "-ping-interval",
has been added, which allows administrators to configure the ping interval
value.

Users of ypbind are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
