Description of Problem: If /etc/init.d/ypbind start can't find the ypserver (?), it overwrites the output on the screen so that you don't know it's failed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ypbind-1.10-3 How Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RH with 'medium firewall' and 'use NIS' in the install. 2. meet problems with NIS. Try to restart ypbind in case it's that. 3. /etc/init.d/ypbind stop produces the right output: Shutting down NIS services.... [ FAILED ] 4. /etc/init.d/ypbind start produces two lines. The first is: "Listening for an NIS domain server..." and then it flashes up [ FAILED ]. Then it overwrites this with "Shutting down NIS services", doesn't overwrite the rest of the first message, so to get "Shutting down NIS services: server" and finishes with [ OK ] So unless you're watching as it happens, you'll think the 'start' worked. The bug here is the buggy message: the firewall/no warning in the installer will go somewhere else when I figure it out.
Should be fixed in ybind-1.10-7, soon in a rawhide near you.
