The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

NIS doesn't require storage of a list of hosts in a domain.

"ypwhich" gives the name of the master or slave currently bound

"ypwhich -m" gives the name of the domain's master

"ypcat hosts" lists the hosts map.  This sometimes happens to list all
    machines in a domain

"ypcat -k netgroup" lists the netgroup map.  A particular netgroup will
    sometimes happen to list all machines a domain

"ypcat ypservers" or sometimes "ypcat ypslaves.<mastername>" will list
    all of the slaves in a domain (unless pushing is being done via
    a nonstandard mechanism, like NFS), and sometimes it will list
    the master as well

"rpcinfo -u <host> ypbind" checks whether <host> is utilizing NIS.
    Version 3 is NIS+, version 1 is ancient.  A host can use NIS, but
    be in a different domain.

There is a program that gets a remote host's domainname over the
bootparams protocol, but that's borderline hacking, and many hosts don't
serve bootparams.
