The change (rev 1.82) to getpwent.c allows FreeBSD NIS clients
to work with Solaris NIS+ servers running in YP compatibility
mode. Without the change, FreeBSD clients in such an environment
can't log in.
I think this is exposing a bug in our NIS implementation,
but don't know enough about it to be sure. I think backing
it out just hides the bug again. As a work-around, we
could try yp_order first, and if that fails, try yp_master.
