Hi,
I've been trying to install a FreeBSD 4.3 NIS server for a while,
but the ypserv daemon always died with SEGV seconds after starting.
After some analysis I found the problem is related to SGI Workstation
NIS clients (IRIX 6.5). The interesting point is that the old FreeBSD
3.2 NIS server did not have this problem!
I tried to find the source of the problem, but RPC programming is
not a skill I have. Anyway, I managed to make ypserv work running the
ypserv binary from 3.5.1-RELEASE distribution. I also tried ypserv
binaries from 4.1.1 and 4.2, with only core dumps as a result.
The problem is probably ay libc, since ypsrev-3.5.1 runs with
/usr/lib/compat/libc.so.3, and I did not find any big diferences in
the ypserv sources between RELENG_3 and RELENG_4.
If somebody wants to study this deeper, I could send the coredumps
from ypserv-4.1.1 and ypserv-4.2. I may not promise a deeper testing,
as the lab with this setup is not at my job.
Cheers,
Jonny
