[Solution] NIS slave hosts map problem
Hello all,
the solution to the problem described previously (slave server
unable to transfer the hosts.{byaddr,byname} maps due to a DBM error)
is solved by upgrading ypserv to version 1.1.1 (distributed version is
1.0.4). This version can be found at:
ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/NYS/servers
ftp.uni-paderborn.de/linux/local/yp
http://www-vt.uni-paderborn.de/~kukuk/linux
you need to edit the Makefile, once make config is done, and
apply the following patch so it finds the ypserv.securenets where
Debian keeps it.
