Hello there, I use vservers on this machine. One of them needs php4 and nis support in php. yp* ebuilds are built, nis is configured and working. php 4 is built without any problem, but there is no nis support, despite the use flags "nis" php-4.* configure script have a "--enable-yp" flag that should be set when use flag "nis" is used. hoppefuly, that's a minor change in the ebuild. /Christophe essai php (0) # emerge --ask --verbose '=dev-lang/php-4*' These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

We won't enable YP/NIS in php because it's completely broken (and also deprecated and no longer available in php-5). It was supposed to be moved to PECL, but its not available yet. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.nis.php Sorry.
