This is not a bug, it's a feature! Fix the entiries in your DHCP or
BOOTP server. Why should a YPDOMAIN be defined, if you do not want to
be a NIS client?

A undefclass() function is very bad. Classes should only be added to
the list. Otherwise the class concept is going very complicated when
we can also remove classes from the list or move them inside the list.
