from "NIS-Howto"
---------
Old ypbind versions do a broadcast to find a running NIS server. This
is insecure, due the fact that anyone may install a NIS server and
answer the broadcast queries. Newer Versions of ypbind (ypbind-3.3 or
ypbind-mt) are able to get the server from a configuration file - thus
no need to broadcast.

So , if you really need client to broadcast download
ypbind 3.3< , compile it , and enjoy.
