Synopsis: Low: ypbind bug fix update
Issue date: 2008-05-27
This updated package fixes the following bugs:
* after a NIS server change, for example, after a server failure, ypbind
corrupted files in the "/var/yp/binding/" directory. As well, these files
were not updated, possibly causing old information to be retained. In these
situations, glibc attempted to read the incorrect information, resulting in
errors such as "RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused".
* by default, NIS clients pinged NIS servers every 20 seconds. In large
deployments, this added extra load, and could possibly cause a denial of
service. In this updated package, a new "ypbind" option, "-ping-interval",
has been added, which allows administrators to configure the ping interval
value.
