Description of Problem: The makefile (/var/yp/Makefile) does not appear to be treated as a config file, and it really is. Here in biology, we've added several tables for the automounter, chosen not to use shadow passwords, etc etc. So, when I upgraded our NIS server, imagine my .... surprise to discover that the first make after adding a new group results in a broken NIS for the department. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ypserv 1.3.12-2 However, I note that in a verify: [root@pogonia yp]# rpm -V ypserv ....L... /var/yp SM5....T c /var/yp/Makefile SM5...GT c /var/yp/securenets That the makefile is marked as a config file. However, rpm (during the anaconda upgrade from RH 7.1) most definately did not create an rpmsave or rpmnew file.
/var/yp/Makefile is marked as %config, so everything should be fine. Thanks, Florian La Roche
Yes, which I noted in the bug report. Care to comment why we had a problem then? Did you try it? Or just make it WORKSFORME after reading the spec file?
This seems to be reported in 20106 too.
This is in fact a bug in rpm. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 57078 ***
