BTW, doing that with 4.0.0 (is anyone still running it?) it'll just kill the
daemon.  Found that out the hard way. :-/

I actually wrote a script that runs out of cron every 15 minutes to look for
changes in our auto.home nis map, and only HUP's the daemon if there's a
change, and if the daemon is version >= 4.1.0.  I figure I'd rather not keep
HUP'ing the daemon when there aren't any changes anyway.
