- "ypwhich -m" which ask the server to which you're currently bound where the
- master servers are. The broadcast that ypbind generates will find any
- master or secondary servers on the local subnet, not just the masters (the
- master might not even be on the local subnet). "rpcinfo -b ypserv 1" will
- emulate the broadcast, though, if that's what you actually wanted.
