Package: nis
Version: 3.13-2

There is a typo in /var/yp/Makefile concerning the comment on the YPPUSHARGS variable. The -port, should be --port, else yppush treats it as a map name. I've created a patch (with some extra info that you shouldn't use quotes).

Hopefully the problem can be fixed in the next update of the NIS package.

regards,

Arno
