>Description:
securenets file is ignored by ypserv.  It is (properly?) used by rpc.yppasswdd.

On these releases anyone on the net can query NIS maps.  In a mixed environment, like ours, the passwd map includes passwords.  So anyone can look at our encrypted passwords.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set up a NIS server with a restrictive securenets file.  Bind to that server with a client not authorized with securenets.
>Fix:
Workaround:  use hosts.allow
