Description rlcarro 2011-10-24 22:20:30 UTC

Description of problem:  When updating the ypserv package, the Makefile is replaced.  It is rare that the out-of-the box Makefile is correct for any domain using automount maps.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ypserv-2.19-5.el5_6.1 and earlier


How reproducible:  Easily


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Build a custom /var/yp/Makefile
2.  Subscribe to a channel with a new version of ypserv
3.  Run yum update
  
Actual results:
/var/yp/Makefile is replaced with the rpm default file.  This will almost immediately corrupt the entire NIS domain.

Expected results:
Package install should create /var/yp/Makefile.rpmnew and issue a message.
