yp_get_default_domain() gets missed on RedHat Linux (and probably other
platforms), for exactly the same reason.

Yep, BTDT.

It would be nice if a proper fix for this could be incorporated into the
next release?

I have a patch to configure.in which allows the Samba configure script
to find yp_get_default_domain() in libnsl. I attach below a unified
context diff against CVS HEAD branch. There is a (very similar) diff
against the 2.0.7 release sources in the samba-patches database, if
anyone wants it (http://samba.org/samba-patches?findid=106).

I've tested the resulting 2.0.7 configure script on against various
other platforms (with and without libnsl) and it looks clean to me.
