NIS files

[Pedro Fernandes Macedo]

I'm installing the first fedora server in my work and I found something 
odd... I edited the /etc/yp.conf and added the settings to my domain:
domain NIS.mydomain.com broadcast
Then , when I tried to start ypbind , it didn't start... It only worked 
when I edited /etc/sysconfig/network and added the line 
NISDOMAIN=NIS.mydomain.com .
Is there any reason to do this?
And another question: why is there the directory /etc/rc.d/init.d ? Why 
arent all the initscripts be in /etc/init.d , just like it was in redhat ?
