Having a bit of a weird problem. I'm trying to get my gentoo box to
connect to NIS on boot, but yp.conf seems to keep getting overwritten.
I've added the NIS domain to /etc/conf.d/yp and I modify /etc/yp.conf to
have the line

domain domain-name server x.x.x.x

At this point if I do:

killall /usr/sbin/ypbind
/etc/init.d/ypbind start

I get bound to the domain. However, when I reboot, my yp.conf gets
replaced with

domain localhost broadcast

and my old yp.conf is now yp.conf.sv. This must happen before ypbind
starts because on reboot I won't bind to the domain. Yet, when it boots,
the login screen shows in the title

hostname.domain-name

So I assume the domain is still right. I've searched through all of /etc
and /usr/portage/scripts for any scripts that would rename a file .sv
but no luck. I've also run etc-update to make sure and that comes out
clean. What am I not doing or doing wrong?
