Small correction:
The new nis 3.2.1-2.1 package should work at least partially.
ypwhich, ypmatch, etc should function.
ypcat returns the desired map but produces an error message and a
segmentation fault afterwards. So basically it works except for scripts.
Thorsten Kukuk has sent me a patch for glibc which fixed the segfault and
he will sent it to the debian libc maintainer. If somebody needs the fix
urgently send me an email.
Greetings,
Christian

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
