authconfig generates a bad yp.conf it is missing and you specify multiple NIS servers: # rm -f /etc/yp.conf ]# /usr/sbin/authconfig --enablenis --nisdomain foo --nisserver nis1,nis2 --kickstart --nostart # cat /etc/yp.conf domain foo server nis1,nis2 # /usr/sbin/authconfig --enablenis --nisdomain foo --nisserver nis1,nis2 --kickstart --nostart # cat /etc/yp.conf domain foo server nis1 ypserver nis2
QE ack. Easily tested and would be good to get fixed.
I'm also interested in getting this fixed one day.

Is that correct? Isn't the following configuration supposed to be done: # /usr/sbin/authconfig --enablenis --nisdomain foo --nisserver nis1,nis2 --kickstart --nostart 'expected result' : # cat /etc/yp.conf domain foo server nis1 domain foo server nis2 If you want to have two NIS servers on one domain for example?
