Description Konstantin Olchanski 2002-10-03 17:15:46 UTC

Description of problem:
Stock RedHat Linux 7.3 ypserv/yppush cannot push updated maps to slave nis
servers (redhat linux 7.3 or 7.2), see bug 62429 for more details.
My solution is to install ypserv-2.5-1 (presumably same as in redhat linux 8.0)
on all machines and rebuild the slave server maps. Then yppush works.

7.3 packages are coming.

Comment 2 Konstantin Olchanski 2002-11-01 21:48:00 UTC

Installed the errata ypserv-2.5-2.7x (why does 7.x errata overwrite an 8.0
package?) and pushing maps to slave servers stopped working. This is what I get:

[root@e614db yp]# cd /var/yp
[root@e614db yp]# make
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/var/yp/E614-NIS'
gmake[1]: `ypservers' is up to date.

Comment 3 Konstantin Olchanski 2002-11-01 23:47:52 UTC

Scratch the previous bug report. The problem was traced to inconsistent NIS
maps: on the NIS server, "ypwhich -m" reported names like "hosts.byname
e614db.Triumf.CA", while on the slave "ypwhich -m" reported "hosts.byname
e614db.triumf.ca" (notice the domain name is in lower-case). After rebuilding
slave NIS maps, "ypwhich -m" returns the same hostnames and yppush works again.

Comment 4 Alexander Larsson 2002-11-04 16:25:08 UTC

It's unfortunate that it overwrites the 8.0 packages, but it does have some
fixes not in the 8.0 version. Anyway. closing bug.
