The change (rev 1.82) to getpwent.c allows FreeBSD NIS clients
to work with Solaris NIS+ servers running in YP compatibility
mode.  Without the change, FreeBSD clients in such an environment
can't log in.

I think this is exposing a bug in our NIS implementation,
but don't know enough about it to be sure.  I think backing
it out just hides the bug again.  As a work-around, we
could try yp_order first, and if that fails, try yp_master.
