>Environment:

	FreeBSD 2.1.7, achieved by supping -stable on to a 2.1.5 machine
	and re-making the world

>Description:

	/usr/src/etc/sysconfig contains the two lines

	# Set to appropriate flags for rpc.yppasswdd, if you wish to run it.
	# Typical flags might be "-t /var/yp/master.passwd -s -f"
                                  ^^ 
                      
        There is no '-t' flag for yppasswdd in 2.1.7 (at least, the man
	page doesn't mention it, and it's not apparent in the source code
	(/usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/ypasswdd/yppasswdd.c).

	It looks as though the flag should be '-m'.

	I dimly recall a discussion on one of the lists re: changing the
	flag FROM '-t' TO '-m'. It looks like the reference in sysconfig
	wasn't updated at the same time.

>How-To-Repeat:

        Look at /etc/sysconfig in RELENG_2_1_0

>Fix:
	
	Replace '-t' with '-m'

State-Changed-Why:  
Pilot error.  The flags are actually for rpc.yppasswd, and the -t 
flag is valid for that command.

 No. you have not hand-merged the src/etc stuff into your /etc/ area.
 
 In 2.1.7, yppasswdd does not exist, it has been replaced with rpc.yppasswdd. 
 (check the dates if you do not believe me).
 
 You have done a make world, and you have not removed the redundant stuff or 
 done any of the other "homework".
