Description of problem: ypbind will check to see if the current NIS server is the fastest every 1 minite. But, manpage of ypbind says it's 15 minites. This occurred with a fix of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=198689. The fix includes this part: @@ -1024,7 +1049,8 @@ test_bindings (void *param __attribute__ pthread_exit (&success); lastcheck += ping_interval; - if (lastcheck >= 900) /* 900 = 15min. */ + //if (lastcheck >= 900) /* 900 = 15min. */ + if (lastcheck >= 60) /* 900 = 15min. */ lastcheck = 0; lastcheck = test_bindings_once(lastcheck); So, it was changed into 60 second (1min) clearly here. But, I cannot see why this change is needed for the fix of BZ198689. The fix on BZ198689 was introduced from rhel4.5. So, this can be a regression from rhel4.4 or before. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ypbind-1.17.2-13 and later How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run ypbind 2. check the interval of "Pinging all active server" message Actual results: ypbind checks it every 1 min Expected results: ypbind checks it every 15 min Additional info: RHEL5 has this same change, which means the same bug. RHEL6 doesn't have this change.
