rpc.yppasswdd and ypserv from net-nds/ypserv supports specific port binding like nfs
related deamons:

/usr/sbin/rpc.yppasswdd --port 735
/usr/sbin/ypserv --port 730

It would be nice having a proper /etc/conf.d/ypserv flag for settings this like nfs does.

YPSERVOPTS=""  >> /usr/sbin/ypserv -- $YPSERVOPTS
YPPASSWDDOPTS="" >> /usr/sbin/rpc.yppasswdd -- $Y>PPASSWDDOPTS

I'll be able to post an updated ebuild when I got the chance, in the meantime if
soemone has nothing better to do here's the bug :).

To help move this bug along, an easy way to implement this such that it matches most other init scripts is to add:

/etc/conf.d/ypserv
---------------------
# Options to pass to ypserv
YP_OPTIONS=""

/etc/init.d/ypserv
---------------------
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/ypserv -- $YP_OPTIONS


As this bug is nearly 4 months old, the fix is extremely simple, and the functionality is key to anyone with a firewall, I'd love to see this integrated ASAP.
