Hello there
I've notice some strange behaviour about NIS.
I'm using a slackware 9.1 box with slackware-current updates.
I've configured a server and ran make under /var/yp and then tried
'ypcat passwd' and 'ypcat group' on a client machine; It retrieved the
passwd file correctly, but the group was empty. Later I ran 'ypmake' and
the 'ypcat group' on the client side dumped the information.
And when I change the password on the server machine, I must run make
under /var/yp, ypmake does'nt update the NIS passwd database.
So, my question is: Am I doind something wrong, or NIS is not behaving
as it should... here?
version information:
yp-tools-2.8
ypbind-mt-1.17.2
ypmake-0.11
ypserv-2.12.1
Thanks,
Mauricio

This seems like a NIS/ypmake bug? On the other side, if I run make under /var/yp for the first time, the "group" table is built empty, and running ypmake rebuilds it correctly. >>So, my question is: Am I doind something wrong, or NIS is not behaving >>as it should... here? >> >>version information: >> >>yp-tools-2.8 >>ypbind-mt-1.17.2 >>ypmake-0.11 >>ypserv-2.12.1 >> >> Seems like NIS 'schema' changed a lot since I last used them... >>Thanks, >>Mauricio >> >>- >>To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in >>the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org >>More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html >> >> >> > > > > > ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
