I'll try to clarify this know :-) _I_ have two real slaves and these are the only hosts in ypservers (the master is not in there). Therefore I experienced the problem this PR is about. Bob Willcox has only one real slave but has got this one _and_ the master in ypservers. So he got as well two hosts to update via yppush (despite the fact that it makes IMHO no sense in updating the master). Therefore he is updating two hosts he sees the problem as well. After modifying rtld.c, the problem went away for him. With his report of success, he also stated that it works now for him but he would have only one slave (and my PR says: yppush broken when pushing to 2 or more slaves). He overlooked the fact the he got the master in ypservers... So, the problem was _not_ solved by removing the master from ypservers (also it would help in the case of ob Willcox because he then got only on host remaining there). My failure was to say "... pushing to 2 or more slaves" it should have been "... pushing to 2 or more hosts" :-). Despite of all this above, one should examine if there is a reason of putting the master in ypservers (I never did) but this probably doesn't belong to this PR (while I personally don't mind continuing to discuss it in this thread :-) ). As I said in another mail, I have already talked with John Polstra a lot about this because we first assumed to have a bug in rtld.c but it really appears to be in yppush and is only triggered by the changed rtld.c. If someone want's to look at it, I will help as much as I can :-) -Andre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
