Details
Updated ypserv packages that fix various bugs are now available.
The Network Information Service (NIS) is a system that provides
network information (login names, passwords, home directories, group
information) to all of the machines on a network. NIS allows users
to log in on any machine on the network, as long as the machine has
the NIS client programs running and the user's password is recorded in
the NIS passwd database. NIS was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages
(YP).
The following issues were addressed:
* Fixed an issue which caused ypserv to segfault under certain circumstances
when using the -b/--dns option.
* Fixed an issue which caused the debuginfo packages to contain unusable
information.
All users of ypserv should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolves these issues.
