my I ask what you are trying to do and what yellowpages is? I've never heard of it. There may be an easier way of doing what you want.

yellowpages (yp) = nis

or rather...

NIS used to be known as yellowpages (and in many places still is). That's why many of the NIS server bits were/are called yp<something>

Sun had problems with copyrights or trademarks or something, apparently.
