Package: yp-tools
Version: 4.2.3-3

With the new 4.x version of NIS this happens

$ ypcat passwd
nickname file /var/yp/nicknames does not exist.
No such map passwd. Reason: No such map in server's domain


The old 3.x nis tools provided the file /var/yp/nicknames, so one can
call

ypcat passwd
instead of
ypcat passwd.byname

ypcat (4.x) still looks for /var/yp/nicknames, but it's not provided
by the yp-tools package.

After copying the nicknames file to /var/yp ypcat passwd works nicely.
