Description of problem: glibc-2.10 introduced better support for gshadow via nsswitch.conf (1) but it seems that some rules in /var/yp/Makefile are missing corresponding changes for NIS. It would be nice if the default Makefile would include all necessary bits for seamless gshadow support. 1) http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/nss/nsswitch.conf.diff?cvsroot=glibc&r1=1.2&r2=1.3
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
For me it seems that gshadow support in /var/yp/Makefile is enabled by default: # Should we merge the group file with the gshadow file ? # MERGE_GROUP=true|false MERGE_GROUP=true If you think it should be done in another way, please, give me more info.
