The one I have at work participates in an NFS network, webserver, and zsh configure works ok:
sage-% /usr/bin/ypcat passwd.byname
No such map passwd.byname. Reason: Request arguments bad
sage-%


My one at home does this:

zsh-% /usr/bin/ypcat passwd.byname

(indefinite hang).

I turned off file sharing and bluetooth sharing and it still hangs...

Is there a way to avoid the test entirely? This is for the fink zsh package on OS X and they all should configure identically anyway.
