Description Kenneth Ahn Jensen 2005-10-20 17:47:32 UTC

Description of problem:
When the ypbind (and yptools) packages are not installed, the dhclient-script 
causes an error message, due to running "chkconfig --level=$level ypbind" in 3 
different places.
This causes error messages in the startup screen and when running /etc/init.d/
network, /sbin/ifup and other things.

When the ypbind and yptools packages are installed the errors go away.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dhclient-3.0.2-24.FC4 ypbind-1.17.2-5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install dhclient ypbind
2. make eth0 configurable via dhcp
3. /etc/init.d/network restart

  

Actual Results:  root@adm2-56 ~]# service network restart

Additional info:

Recently upgraded from FC3 to FC4 using yum update, but all rpms seem to be at 
the correct versions.

Oops, I guess dhclient was never tested without the ypbind package being 
installed and with dhcp servers supplying the nis-servers option.

This bug is not due to any change in the dhclient-3.0.2-24.FC4 version -
it has always been in every FC-4 dhclient version.

If your dhcp server is supplying the nis-servers option, which is the only
way this dhclient-script code can be reached, you should probably consider 
installing ypbind .

This bug has no effect other than causing the annoying chkconfig usage
messages to be generated. 

It is arguably a chkconfig bug that only the '--level=' option emits a
usage message for a nonexistent script - all other chkconfig invocations
emit message like:
# chkconfig --list nil
  'error reading information on service nil: No such file or directory'
but
# chkconfig --level=0 nil
produces the full Usage: message.

I should have appended '>/dev/null 2>&1' to the chkconfig commands - will do
so in next version. 

Meanwhile, you can workaround by:
  # echo '# chkconfig - 80 80
  # description: not installed
'> /etc/init.d/ypbind


Even though you have not installed ypbind, I believe dhclient-script should
still update the ypbind configuration, so that if/when ypbind gets installed, 
it can pick up a valid configuration; also other software might make use of
this configuration.
