Under mdk8.0 this was not a problem.  But with 8.1 - both an
upgrade and a fresh install - I am finding that the NIS domain
name is set to the DNS domain name whenever the network is
(re)started.  Since they are different, this causes ypbind
to fail.

I have set the NISDOMAIN variable in /etc/sysconfig/network,
and I have tried putting the necessary information into the
/etc/yp.conf file.  But nothing works.

I can put a hack into the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ypbind script to
set the domain name, but I'm not really happy with that as a
solution.

Is something broken?  Is there something I am doing wrong,
or is there something new in the configuration that I am
not aware of?

(Note:  I am using DHCP clients on these machines, in case
that influences anything.)
