If I just turn on amd in rc.conf
and use the standard settings,
I get the following:

# ls /host/phaser3/data
# tail /var/log/messages
[old stuff]

Sep 11 16:59:44 phaser3 amd.2.2.0[5191]: NIS domain name is not set. 
NIS ignored.

in  other words,
teh binary from a 2.2-current (kinda unknown vintage)
works fine, but the binary from 2.2.2 fails miserably.

I've looked through the mailing lists etc, but I don't see
why the default setting in /etc/rc.conf should fail

anyone have any thoughts?
was there some security feature added that wasn't documented?
the "Bad address" is a rather useless error message.
