Thanks for working on this.  I checked out the current devel branch; it builds
fine; rpmlint says:

  ypbind.src: W: strange-permission ypbind.init 0755
I don't understand why rpmlint is complaining here.  This seems fine to me.

  ypbind.x86_64: W: incoherent-version-in-changelog 1.20.4-9
   ['3:1.20.4-9.fc10', '3:1.20.4-9']
Again, this seems quite OK.  I'm guessing that it is complaining about not
seeing the epoch in the changelog version, but don't think we generally add it
there.

So all of that looks bogus.  I assume that the OTHER_YPBIND_OPTS thing is
something to be set in /etc/sysconfig/network instead of being edited into the
initscript.

The changes to the package look good; packaging-wise I have no complaints. 
It's a bit odd seeing %{PACKAGE_VERSION} in the spec instead of %{version};
I've never seen it before but it seems to work well enough.

Any idea why autoreconf is run?  There's been a bunch of discussion about
whether this should ever be run in a package, and while I don't fully
understand that discussion, I do think it would be good to ensure that the
autoreconf call is really needed and to add comments to the spec as
appropriate.  I note that rpmdiff shows only timestamp differences between a
build that calls autoreconf and one that doesn't.

As for the initscript patch in comment #7, it seems correct on its face but
it's a bit tough to read with only a non-context diff and I'm not really an
expert with the whole LSB init comment block thing anyway.  Unfortunately I no
longer have any vestige of my NIS infrastructure around so I can't test this at
all.

So really the only open issue I see is the autoreconf thing.
