Description of Problem: It might be that, during a fresh install, the value of NISDOMAIN in /etc/sysconfig/network is being set to all capitals. This buggers an existing NIS installation that doesn't follow that pattern. For example, our internal NIS domain is "Weland", but the value that appeared in /etc/sysconfig/network is "WELAND". This caused ypserv to reject connections from existing NIS clients trying to find "Weland". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RedHat 7.2, ypserv-1.3.12-2. How Reproducible: Do it the old fashioned, Microsoft way :) I.e., re-install RedHat 7.2 on an existing NIS server that, until then, hadn't capitlalized its NIS domain name. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
This is if at all done by the anaconda installer, not by ypserv. I re-assign to correct rpm. Thanks for this bug-report, Florian La Roche
Are you sure you entered it with the proper capitalization? We just use what we're given as far as I know unless authconfig changes it
