Synopsis: ypxfr does not work with Solaris master server(s)

State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: wpaul
State-Changed-When: Fri Feb 12 08:56:01 PST 1999
State-Changed-Why: 

There's nothing wrong with ypxfr. The Solaris hosts in question are
actuall running NIS+, not NIS. The nis2 host is master server running
rpc.nisd in normal mode, and the nis1 host is a replica running in
YP compat mode. In YP compat mode, rpc.nisd serves NISv2 client requests
for the benefit of hosts that only support NISv2, however it does not
use the NISv2 map transfer mechanism and therefore you can't use ypxfr
to copy maps from it.

Since there isn't really a bug with ypxfr, this PR is being closed.
