packet loss when talking to a NIS server. - Set 1 second retry timeout to further realistically handle UDP packet loss for yp_next packet bursts. If the packet hasn't come back within 1 second its rather unlikely to come back at all. There is still back-off mechanism in RPC so if there is another reason than packet loss for the lack of response within 1 second, the NIS server will not be totally bombarded with requests. This reduces the risk of NIS failing with: yp_next: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out considerably. This is mainly a problem if you have larger NIS maps (like at FreeBSD.org) since enumerations of the lists will cause a UDP packet bursts where a few packets being lost once in a while do happen.
