Ports for NIS?

From: Mauricio Tavares <uce@xxxxxxx>

I have a centos 4.4 box I would like to use as my NIS server. How to setup NIS such that ypserv, ypxfrd, and yppasswd will use fixed ports? I remember that one of the differences between linux and solaris was that in linux you could specify the ports for those services. Am I correct?

Now, here is an even easier question: how to setup the firewall at the host to pass those ports?
