Neither, sorry. Or at least I could not find such.

# systemctl status ypbind-systemd-pre
● ypbind-systemd-pre.service
   Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
   Active: inactive (dead)
# systemctl status ypbind
● ypbind.service - NIS/YP Clients to NIS Domain Binder
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ypbind.service; disabled; vendor
preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: man:ypbind(8)

BTW: Is it a bug that "systemctl show no-such-service" does not signal any
error (besides maybe ``LoadError=org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.FileNotFound "No
such file or directory"'')?
