The problem is TCP Wrappers using yp_get_default_domain on some systems. I
think this is related to the configuration of TCP wrappers, since Red Hat's
libwrap.a doesn't use yp_get_default_domain, whereas Debian's package does.

The solution is to fix TCP Wrappers not to use the YP domain, which really
has no relevance to the job TCP Wrappers does.

A workaround (somewhat untested) should be in the CVS version of ORBit now.
(ORBit/configure.in version 1.64).

Hope this helps,
