This disables NIS by default which is rather surprising considering there has been no prior (which I have been able to find) discussion of this. At the _VERY_ least people need to be warned about this loudly. Unless you can show this really helps non-NIS users this is IMO a bad idea. Yes, if you hand merge all /etc files this won't be a problem... but I don't since life's to short for that, so this change just broke login on one of the FreeBSD.org during an upgrade. -- Simon L.
