Synopsis
ypserv bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated ypserv package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The Network Information Service (NIS) is a system that provides network
information (login names, passwords, home directories, and group
information) to all 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 password
database. NIS was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP).
When using the "--dns" option, ypserv occasionally caused a segmentation
fault.
Users of ypserv are advised to upgrade to this update package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
