IMHO, if we make this change to yp, then we need to make similar changes
to anything that accepts a network number. Otherwise, confusion will
abound ("How come 'route' doesn't work when I use a host address, but
it works for YP?"). I'd prefer to add a warning to ypserv until we
make a project-wide decision to allow this kind of configuration.
