I'm curious where the dependency for yp-tools came in, however. On EL6 and
EL7, that should not be a req.
I guess it would be a requirement if you try to configure the client
manually:
grep ypmatch -r xymon-4.3.19
xymon-4.3.19/configure.client:        USERDATA=`getent passwd $XYMONUSER
2>/dev/null || ypmatch "${XYMONUSER}" passwd || grep "^${XYMONUSER}:"
/etc/passwd`

But only /required/ if getent is not present (unlikely), and grepping
/etc/passwd won't work.  If ypmatch isn't installed, then I'd have thought
it's unlikely that NIS/YP is being used for accounts anyway.
