Re-sync > this in CVS ? The change (rev 1.82) to getpwent.c allows FreeBSD NIS clients to work with Solaris NIS+ servers running in YP compatibility mode. Without the change, FreeBSD clients in such an environment can't log in. I think this is exposing a bug in our NIS implementation, but don't know enough about it to be sure. I think backing it out just hides the bug again. As a work-around, we could try yp_order first, and if that fails, try yp_master. -- Dan Eischen
