>Description:
	I get these error messages to syslog:

	ypserv[12289]: warning: cannot open /etc/hosts.allow: Too many open files
	ypserv[12289]: warning: cannot open /etc/hosts.allow: No child processes

	I do not have an /etc/hosts.allow.  But even if there is one, I can still
	get these messages.  ypserv fails to work properly.

>How-To-Repeat:
        Run several simultaneous "ypcat" on client(s) which are bound to a
	NetBSD system running ypserv.  The number required depends on 
	descriptors.soft and the number of maps.
>Fix:
        None provided.
