The security update for ypbind changes the format of /etc/yp.conf in incompatible ways. My old yp.conf file, which also works on other Unix platforms, is: ypserver ds2.gl.umbc.edu ypserver irix1.gl.umbc.edu ypserver irix2.gl.umbc.edu domain slam This no longer works. My new file, which does work, is domain slam server ds2.gl.umbc.edu domain slam server irix1.gl.umbc.edu domain slam server irix2.gl.umbc.edu The only time the config file won't need to be changed is if the user only uses broadcast mode, as far as I can tell. The least the announcement should do is warn users of the configuration change. At best, it shouldn't change the file. ;-)
This bug is three weeks old; all you guys have to do is release an updated errata report, not release a new package. Can we have some action on this please?
It's far to late to change the errata message now, if we release any new errata for 6.2 i'll mention it though.
