We are trying to get an nis slave server running on one of our FreeBSD
boxes.  I cannot figure out how one to init the slave server.  Under other
unix religons one runs ypinit;  FreeBSD has none.  What it the
replacement?  ypserv doesn't have any options that tell it that it is a
slave server.  Does the the lack of maps in /var/yp signal in some way?
