looking at the code, it appears that the only time NIS (or DNS for that matter) will get involved is when the caller is not from the local machine (meaning the src ip address is not one of the local machines ip address). So its not clear to me what can be done to verify non-local callers and not involve NIS since portmapper uses the gethostbyXXX() API (which is controlled by the /etc/nsswitch.conf). So I'm going to close this as NOTABUG... |
