    lib/libc/gen         getpwent.c 
  Log:
  Revert to using yp_order() to probe for master.paswd.by* maps and
  don't probe the server at all for passwd.by* maps. This fixes
  interoperability with the Services For UNIX NIS server (which is
  really a front end to Captive^WActiveDirectory). This server
  incorrectly returns success for all YPPROC_MASTER requests,
  even for maps that don't exist, which makes it impossible to
  (ab)use it to probe for the existence of the master.passwd.by*
  maps.
  
  This is a little kludgey, but basically restores the original
  behavior of getpwent.c as it is in -stable, and works around both
  the lack of YPPROC_ORDER on NIS+ servers as well as the broken
  YPPROC_MASTER on Services For UNIX servers.
