Hi Bill, if you set NISDOMAIN/domainname only in the /etc/sysconfig/network, the ypbind must be started using `service ypbind start`, as /sbin/ypbind program itself does not look into /etc/sysconfig/network, but /etc/init.d/ypbind does. If the domainname is set on the command line, and then /sbin/ypbind is run, it reads /etc/yp.conf. Karel, Thanks for looking into this issue. My memory may be playing tricks on me, but I don't ever recall in 20+ years of working with ypbind implementations that it would fail to read /etc/yp.conf by default even if domainname was not previously set. Assume for the sake of argument that the domainname was previously set (as I believe it was) before running the tests. Therefore please try.... Steps to Reproduce: 0. Run "domainname my.test.domain" to set domain name 1. Run "/sbin/ypbind -c" to confirm /etc/yp.conf is accessed. 2. Run "/sbin/ypbind " to confirm /etc/yp.conf IS NOT accessed. 3. Run "/sbin/ypbind --broadcast" to confirm broadcast functionality works. Are you still unable to reproduce the error in step 2 as reported? If you cannot reproduce the failure under those circumstances, please go ahead and close the case as a no change. Thank you again for your interest. Yes, I am unable to reproduce the error. I already tried the steps as described with the domainname set, and ypbind accessed /etc/yp.conf every time. When the domainname is not set, ypbind without -c does not open /etc/yp.conf, and it prints "domainname not set - aborting." Fedora 12 behaves the same as F-11. Closing now. Please reopen this bug if it still fails on your computer even with the domainname set. |
Description of problem: With the current ISO of Fedora 11, NIS fails to read in /etc/yp.conf at startup except when the "-c" (check config file for errors) flag is given. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: NetworkManager and wpa_suppliment packages were yum erased. Network connection to a local sub-net was established. Local sub-net has at lease one NIS server that will respond to a broadcast. /etc/sysconfig/network has appropriate NISDOMAIN variable set and/or domainname set. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run "/sbin/ypbind -c" to confirm /etc/yp.conf is accessed. 2. Run "/sbin/ypbind " to confirm /etc/yp.conf IS NO accessed. 3. Run "/sbin/ypbind --broadcast" to confirm broadcast functionality works. Actual results: When invoked in configuration check mode, /etc/yp.conf is accessed: [root ~]# strace -f -e open /sbin/ypbind -c -debug open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/libdbus-1.so.3", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/libpthread.so.0", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/libnsl.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/libcap.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/libattr.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 open("/etc/yp.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3 3437: parsing config file open("/usr/share/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY) = 4 open("/usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/ypbind-mt.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/ypbind-mt.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/ypbind-mt.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/locale/en.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/ypbind-mt.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/locale/en.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/ypbind-mt.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/ypbind-mt.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 3437: Trying entry: domain MyDomain broadcast Trying entry: domain MyDomain broadcast 3437: parsed domain 'MyDomain' broadcast 3437: add_server() domain: MyDomain, broadcast Config file /etc/yp.conf is ok.
