I have the ypserv-0.11 package up on a 2.1.0-Development system right now. It does seem to work with FreeBSD's client-side YP stuff, though I think FreeBSD's client-side stuff still needs a little work (ps sometimes reports that processes owned by me are owned by 'daemon' and ls, in some cases, says that files owned by me are owned by 'root' -- I think I smell a library problem). What I don't have working yet is yppasswd and yppasswdd, though I have the Linux versions of those too. I also don't know if this ypserv package supports yp-xfr. I haven't tried building the server in the yps-0.21 package yet, though that's next on my agenda. The question is, do we really want to port these over and use them? It shouldn't be too much trouble (I want to convert them from gdbm to db so it won't be necessary to ship libgdbm with FreeBSD), but I think this stuff is GPL'ed. So what's the verdict? Do we swipe the Linux code, or is someone out there already working on a non-GPL version? > > --Chris Christoph P. U.
