Use the FQHN rather than localhost. Don't forget
to add this to the securenets file on the master
(and rebuild).

restricted mode access list and ypbind problems

[Mark Nipper]

I'm running 4.5-STABLE currently and was curious about
the -S flag to ypbind.  Trying to use it, as the handbook
recommends, when running an NIS master server as a client, does
not seem to work.

I've tried using "-S domain,localhost" and "-S
domain,127.0.0.1" but both result in:
---
Apr 12 10:01:33 hostname ypbind[27681]: NIS server at x.x.x.x not in restricted mode 
access list -- rejecting. 

with any sensitive information changed in the above of course.
:)

Anyway, I ran without flags, and ypbind worked fine.
Just thought someone might be able to clarify the use of the -S
flag.
