I have a simillar problem with ypserv and yppasswd changing. I have reported this as bug 129308. I've had issues like this as well, specifically when migrating NIS masters from Solaris to RHEL. The only problematic map being the netgroup map -- cleaning up all stray spaces at the end of entries as well as making sure each continuation of a list is properly formated with *tabs* rather than spaces fixes this for me. Once I did this, netgroups started working fine. -charles. This bug is filed against RHEL 3, which is in maintenance phase. During the maintenance phase, only security errata and select mission critical bug fixes will be released for enterprise products. Since this bug does not meet that criteria, it is now being closed. For more information of the RHEL errata support policy, please visit: http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/errata/ If you feel this bug is indeed mission critical, please contact your support representative.

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Galeon/1.3.14 Description of problem: I was switching over a ypserver from an SGI machine to one of our RHEL3 linux servers. When I initially did the switch, I had problems with netgroups. I could ypcat netgroups but doing a ypmatch on any key in the netgroup didn't work. I then tested the same yp configuration on an FC2T2 system and everything worked fine. The netgroups were fine and everything worked as expected. I then went back to the RHEL3 machine and tried again and had the same result. You could ypcat the netgroup file but ypmatches failed. This caused lots of problems with exports, automounts, etc. I then pointed the RHEL3 system at my FC2T2 system (reconfig/restart ypbind) and the netgroup problem went away. This lead me to believe it was a problem with ypserv. As a test I rebuilt the rawhide ypserv-2.12.1-2 and tried it on the RHEL3 system and everything worked as expected. I don't really have more details as I needed to get this working quickly and didn't have time for extensive debugging. I've got to believe that the problem is related to our netgroup file as I've set up another ypserver on an RHEL3 system with smaller maps and everything just worked. I can provide copies of any files you need if you want to persue this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ypserv-2.8-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set up yp from previous existing src files 2. start ypserv 3. Actual Results: most everything works except the netgroup matching Expected Results: everything works Additional info:
