Hide Forgot
you should run anything before init.d/netfs that depends on /usr being local, for instance ypbind and ypserv which are both kept in /usr/sbin. they should be relocated to /sbin (these are the two examples I noticed) there's a very real possibility that /usr is remotely mounted, and you should *not* depend on it being there this is a problem in all releases I've seen, not just rawhide.
suggested spec file for ypserv, for example: Summary: The NIS (Network Information Service) server. Url: http://www-vt.uni-paderborn.de/~kukuk/linux/nis.html Name: ypserv Version: 1.3.6.91 Release: 2 Copyright: GNU Group: System Environment/Daemons Source0: ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/NIS/ypserv-%{PACKAGE_VERSION}.tar.gz Source1: ypserv-ypserv.init Source2: ypserv-yppasswdd.init Requires: portmap tcp_wrappers Prereq: /sbin/chkconfig Buildroot: /var/tmp/ypserv-root/ Patch0: ypserv-1.3.6.91-redhat.patch Patch1: ypserv-1.3.6.91-fix.patch Obsoletes: yppasswd %description The Network Information Service (NIS) is a system which provides network information (login names, passwords, home directories, group information) to all of the machines on a network. NIS can enable users to login on any machine on the network, as long as the machine has the NIS client programs running and the user's password is recorded in the NIS passwd database. NIS was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP). This package provides the NIS server, which will need to be running on your network. NIS clients do not need to be running the server. Install ypserv if you need an NIS server for your network. You'll also need to install the yp-tools and ypbind packages onto any NIS client machines. %prep %setup -q %patch0 -p1 %patch1 -p1 %build cp etc/README etc/README.etc CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" ./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/ --libdir=/usr/lib/ \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib/yp --enable-tcp-wrapper --enable-fqdn --enable-yppasswd make %install rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT #make install prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr YPMAPDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/var/yp exec-prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/ \ # libexecdir=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib/yp libdir=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib make install ROOT=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/rc.d/init.d install -m644 etc/ypserv.conf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc install -m755 $RPM_SOURCE_DIR/ypserv-ypserv.init $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/rc.d/init.d/ypserv install -m755 $RPM_SOURCE_DIR/ypserv-yppasswdd.init $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/rc.d/init.d/yppasswdd %clean rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %post /sbin/chkconfig --add ypserv /sbin/chkconfig --add yppasswdd %triggerpostun -- ypserv <= ypserv-1.3.0-2 /sbin/chkconfig --add ypserv %trigerpostun -- yppasswd /sbin/chkconfig --add yppasswdd %postun if [ $1 = 0 ]; then /sbin/chkconfig --del ypserv /sbin/chkconfig --del yppasswdd fi %files %defattr(-,root,root) %doc README README.secure INSTALL ChangeLog TODO %doc etc/ypserv.conf etc/securenets etc/README.etc %config /etc/ypserv.conf %config /var/yp/* %dir /var/yp %config /etc/rc.d/init.d/* /usr/lib/yp /sbin/* /usr/man/man5/* /usr/man/man8/* /usr/include/*/* %changelog * Thu Apr 22 1999 Darrell Fuhriman <darrell> - relocated binaries to /sbin - make install line changed to use ROOT=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT * Fri Mar 26 1999 Cristian Gafton <gafton> - version 1.3.6.91 * Sun Mar 21 1999 Cristian Gafton <gafton> - auto rebuild in the new build environment (release 4) * Mon Feb 8 1999 Bill Nottingham <notting> - move to start before ypbind * Thu Dec 17 1998 Cristian Gafton <gafton> - build for glibc 2.1 - upgraded to 1.3.5 * Tue Aug 4 1998 Jeff Johnson <jbj> - yppasswd.init: lock file must have same name as init.d script, not daemon * Sat Jul 11 1998 Cristian Gafton <gafton> - upgraded to 1.3.4 - fixed the fubared Makefile - link against gdbm instead of ndbm (it seems to work better) * Sat May 02 1998 Cristian Gafton <gafton> - upgraded to 1.3.1 - enhanced init scripts * Fri May 01 1998 Jeff Johnson <jbj> - added triggerpostun - Use libdb fro dbp_*(). * Fri Apr 24 1998 Prospector System <bugs> - translations modified for de, fr, tr * Mon Apr 13 1998 Cristian Gafton <gafton> - updated to 1.3.0 * Wed Dec 03 1997 Cristian Gafton <gafton> - updated to 1.2.5 - added buildroot; updated spec file - added yppasswdd init file * Tue Nov 04 1997 Erik Troan <ewt> - init script shouldn't set the domain name * Tue Oct 14 1997 Erik Troan <ewt> - supports chkconfig - updated initscript for status and restart - turned off in all runlevels, by default - removed postinstall script which didn't do anything * Thu Oct 09 1997 Erik Troan <ewt> - added patch to build against later glibc * Mon Jul 21 1997 Erik Troan <ewt> - built against glibc * Wed Apr 23 1997 Erik Troan <ewt> - updated to 1.1.7. * Fri Mar 14 1997 Erik Troan <ewt> - Updated to ypserv 1.1.5, ported to Alpha (glibc). * Fri Mar 07 1997 Erik Troan <ewt> - Removed -pedantic which confuses the SPARC :-(
ypbind *is* in /sbin. ypserv & apmd may need fixed though.
Starting ypserv on a NIS *server* without having /usr mounted makes little or no sense
