 | Hi,
 | 
 | I've no problem with such a sollution.
 | At least "my" application will have no problem with setting a global 
 | variable in the library to an other value.
 | 
 | Any suggestions about a name for this.
 | I can prepare a patch to the libs and the manual pages then.

 How about 'void yp_setbindtries(int ntries)', where 0 means infinity?
