When I wrote this code, I *intentionally* avoided coupling many databases to YP. Even in SunOS, it just created problems. Only passwd, group, netid, and ethers are supported. Well, there is hosts (== networks in our case) but that translation happens seperately. Really ANY kind of map could exist, but it doesn't mean things use it. Or should. Or will. Really, the situation is we absolutely won't ever, it helps nothing.
