ypbind-mt is a multi-threaded implementation of a NIS binding daemon. ypbind-mt compiles and works on Linux with glibx 2.x (libc6).

It should work on every System with POSIX threads and glibc 2.x. ypbind-mt works under Linux with libc5 and linuxthreads 0.7.1, but this C library isn't really thread safe and shouldn't be used with threads.

Here are some key features of "ypbind mt":
Supports bindings to multiple domains.
Supports /var/yp/binding/* file for Linux libc 4/5 and glibc 2.x.
Supports a list of known secure NIS server (/etc/yp.conf)
Binds to the server which answered as first if the old one is down.
Check all 15 minuts, if the current server is really the fastest.

What's New in This Release:
ypbind has now DBUS support to watch network status messages from NetworkManager (if NetworkManager is used).
