From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: When using ypbind in broadcast mode, it will never find a server. When an address is specified its finds a server instantly. This broadcast configuration has been working for us for all past redhat versions, and has now just stopped working with rehdat ENT 3.0 When doing a packet capture on a good machine (7.3,8.9) the udp checksum comes out correct. On a bad 3.0 machine the checksum of the packet is incorrect. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set /etc/yp.conf to broadcast 2. /etc/init.d/ypbind start Expected Results: server will not bind. Additional info:
