>Description:
In the rpc.yppasswdd(0) man page, the -m option is described
as: "Don't use /var/yp/securenet. Use another file with
another file format. For futher information see
ypserv.acl(5)." This is verbatim from the ypserv(0) man page,
which leads me to think that the author used the ypserv man
page as a template for creating the rpc.yppasswdd man page,
and forgot to fix this text. My reading of the source for
rpc.yppasswdd is that the -m option specifies arguments to
the "make" command used to remake the NIS maps.
