NIS in Debian 1.3 broken?
I upgraded a box from 1.2 to 1.3, and now my NIS doesn't work. A yppasswd
reports the user as unknown, and a ypwhich results in a segfault. A ypcat
reports that there is no server bound to the NIS domain. The yp server is a
debian box still running 1.2. I tried upgrading a separate debian box piece by
piece, and found that upgrading libc5 seems to be the culprit. Both the libc5
in 1.3, and the libc5 in bo-updates don't work.
At another installation, I upgraded to 1.3 without a hitch. The yp server in
that setup is a DEC machine running OSF/1 V3.2
Has anyone else noticed this problem? Is it somehow related to the old NIS
server in debian 1.2? Is there a fix yet?
