Ok, this is definitely a bug. Well 2 actually. But It doesn't appear in the publicly accessible bugzilla at RH. Package ypbind actually depends on policycoreutils-python. A fresh install of SL6 Beta1, using "Software Development Workstation", and selecting NIS under "Use Network Login", fails to install policycoreutils-python, which contains "sesetbool". "sesetbool" is called by /etc/init.d/ypbind to allow ypbind access. Installing as "Basic Server" at least includes policycoreutils-python. Unfortunately, bug number 2, is that "sesetbool allow_ypbind=1" doesn't work, since the default selinux policy doesn't have "allow_ypbind" I doubt this is a SL bug, but I'm not totally sure. Should I file this with RH, or is this an SL issue? Thanks very much! -- Don Krause Head Systems Geek, Waver of Deceased Chickens. Optivus Proton Therapy, Inc. P.O.
