Hi, since a few days, our NIS shows strange behaviour. When calling getpwnam on a NIS client for a valid, existing, plussed loginname (+user:::::::::), getpwnam->pw_passwd sometimes returns the crypted password (which is the right behaviour) but sometimes returns '*'. Is it possible, that the ypmatch-call in getpwent.c does a timeout? Does if (_yp_enabled == -1) _ypinitdb(); if (_yp_enabled) rval = _getyppass(&_pw_passwd, name, "passwd.byname"); show, that if _ypinitdb() does not work, YP is not used at all? How can it be, that getpwnam->pw_passwd returns "*" instead of getpwnam beeing NULL? Anyone any suggestions?
