Description Baard Kristiansen 2004-05-05 15:12:53 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.2)
Gecko/20040301

Description of problem:
When booting a Redhat Enterprise 3-based machine with a vanilla kernel
(2.4.26) ypbind causes segmentation fault when starting.  When using
the official RHEL-kernels (2.4.21-9.0.3.EL) it works fine.

See the attached URL for a more in-depth description of what happens
when starting ypbind.  Full strace-log present.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ypbind-1.12-5 and vanilla kernel 2.4.26 from kernel.org

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot RHEL3-based machine with vanilla 2.4.26 kernel
2. Start ypbind


Actual Results:  ypbind causes a segmentation fault.  Unable to bind
to the NIS domain.

Expected Results:  We should have been bound to the NIS-domain.

Additional info:

The problem has been present on all RHEL3-based machines I've tested
it on.

We do not support custom-built kernels, so since this is not a problem
on the kernels we supply, I am closing this bug.
