Description of Problem: The yphelper program used by the ypinit script does not appear to work when attempting to set up a slave NIS server to a Sun master NIS server Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.3.12-2 on 7.2 w/ all current eratta installed How Reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to configure 7.2 to be a slave NIS server 2. 3. Actual Results: ypinit fails with Can't enumerate maps from <master server hostname>. Please check that is running Expected Results: Map transfer should have proceded without incident. Additional Information: In ypinit, there is a commented line above the yphelper line that uses ypwhich -m filtering through grep/awk. uncommenting that line and commenting out the yphelper line allowed the script to work properly, however this is prone to failure if one isn't careful how they enter the hostname of the master NIS server. Tests with yphelper by itself on the command line with the same options that the script uses results in no output generated at all where the ypwhich -m /grep/awk combination always returned the correct results.
