RedHat 4.1 ypbind - where?

Where is ypbind on RedHat 4.1? It's not in any of the yp*.rpm, although the man page is in yp-clients.
Is this an omission, or has nobody tried using RH4.1 as an NIS client before?

If you are not glibc... you'll have to grab the sources and recompile...

Hmm, could you clarify the answer a bit please?

I've installed every package on the CD, and looked on the RPM download sites. What I can't understand is why the man page in in yp-clients, but the binary isn't. Do you mean that you don't get ypbind with RH4.1 at all? That would seem a little odd to me. RH5.1 has an RPM called ypbind, but you can't use RH5 RPMs in RH4.

Am I missing something obvious? I've had to borrow a NeXT for the rest of the week, as all I've got is RedHat 4.1 and I need ypbind to set up a NIS server running on Netware (yuk) by the middle of next week.

Oops... I forgot to mention and rpm upgrade [.rpm files are not compatibles...] and... lots of upgrades... Maybe you just have to grab from the net yp*.tar.gz and recompile each package by hand...
