Hi there, I've just upgraded my system from 2.1.0-RELEASE to 2.1.6-RELEASE (I did a complete reinstall), and I have noticed that the new C library seems to have broken NIS support. The symptoms are as follows: ypbind binds properly and I can ypcat etc no problem. Also 'ls' and friends have no problem converting UIDs to usernames via the NIS maps. However, programs like login, finger etc refuse to use NIS when looking up usernames, and hence noone in the NIS database can log in! After switching to libc.so.2.0, 'finger' worked fine (apart from the ld.so warnings about incorrect version numbers). Is there some cunning option I have to enable in 2.1.6 that I've missed, or is the code truely broken? Does anyone have a (temporary) solution?
