 Sorry, I think I managed to confuse everyone (including myself[1]).
 
 NIS+ was pulled, not NIS. So the NIS client utils, the libc symbols for NIS,
 etc, may still exist.

 Perhaps the simplest thing would be to add the patch as an option? Unless
 +nisplus, then comment out HAS_NISPLUS in src/util/sys_def.h? Postfix/NIS+
 installs are likely pretty rare on the ground.
 
 I've tested this on s11e, and it appears to work. If anyone would like a build
 zone to test with, please ping me (bdha) on freenode.
 
 [1] Commenting out HAS_NIS also seems to work; I did not remove HAS_NISPLUS in
 my previous build, so however the defs work, it seems to .. work.
