Note that this protocol is _NOT_ the same as Sun's, which is proprietary. This basically impliments an RPC-based file transfer protocol which lets a slave server suck over a raw map database file from the master. This is many times faster than the normal method, which requires reading the records from ypserv via yp_all() and then creating a new database on the fly, particularly when you have many tens of thousands of records in a map (e.g. a huge passwd database). The protocol number I chose falls within the 'user-specified' range. Maybe we should register it with Sun so we can get an official vendor number for it. :) END
