Description of problem: My Beowulf uses NIS and finds the NIS servers via a broadcast on the internal network. This morning, NIS was horribly, horribly broken. With the -d option for debug, ypbind segfaults. # ypbind -d parsing config file No entry found. add_server() domain: beowulf, broadcast [Welcome to ypbind-mt, version 1.12] do_broadcast() for domain 'beowulf' is called Answer for domain 'beowulf' from unknown server '10.1.1.11' Segmentation fault Without the debug option ypbind clone()'s itself as a daemon and then the new process segfaults. This was a fun way to find my Beowulf this morning. I've gone back to 1.12-5.21.9 and am not having problems. The only change I see is the logging patch. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ypbind-1.12-5.21.10
