The following reply was made to PR bin/3778; it has been noted by GNATS.

This is the problem: the ypbind code from 2.2.x and up will not work correctly on 2.1.x without taking special precautions. I originally suggested that you try the version from FreeBSD-current because your original PR contained a version tag that said FreeBSD 2.2-RELEASE, so I assumed that's what you were using. There are two things you can do: 1) Compile a static ypbind binary on a 2.2.x or better machine and use that on your 2.1.7.1 machine. 2) Since I develop this stuff on my home machine which still runs 2.1.0, I have compiled versions of the newer YP tools that will run on 2.1.x. You can FTP a copy of a ypbind executable from my home machine if you can't find a 2.2.x or better machine on which to build your own. The binary is at: ftp://skynet.ctr.columbia.edu/pub/freebsd/nis/ypbind I have a very slow link, but the binary is only about 30K. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" =============================================================================
