Given the target use of the change proposed by this case,
has thought been given to allowing ypinit to be invoked in
a manner that doesn't require any prompting?

For example:

ypinit -C 192.12.18.1

...to initialise a client with 192.12.18.1 as its NIS server and
having ypinit behave in a manner more suited to being invoked
by something else rather than from the command line.

Although this is potentially  beyond the scope of this case..
