http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1090915 Bug ID: 1090915 Summary: Installer ports yp.conf, which overrides subsequent YaST NIS changes Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.0 Hardware: x86-64 OS: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Network Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: jcholewa@northwell.edu QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.189 Safari/537.36 Vivaldi/1.95.1077.60 Build Identifier: The Leap 15 Beta installer seems to copy /etc/yp.conf from prior installs, but the YaST NIS Client module in my 15.0 build -- kernel 4.12.14-lp150.8-default #1 SMP Sat Apr 7 05:12:52 UTC 2018 (8719fc4) -- sets the NIS server elsewhere (looks like in /etc/sysconfig/network/config). ypbind seems to check /etc/yp.conf first, so the NIS server is not the one specified by YaST. Command like ypwhich report "Error for domain 'mydomain' from ypbind on 'localhost': Domain not bound". This issue persists through reboots. Curiously, after the initial set up in YaST but before the first subsequent reboot, ypbind *does* recognize the value set by YaST, but something is confused as programs like id and chown fail with "no such user" messages. In the end, the problem only goes away if /etc/yp.conf is manually modified. It seems likely that removing the file entirely would likely have fixed the problem, as well. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Leap 15.0 and import settings from prior version of openSUSE (or just copy old /etc/yp.conf to new install 2. Enter YaST NIS Client and change NIS server host/IP 3. Reboot 4. Run ypwhich to test which server is used Actual Results: ypwhich reports server specified in /etc/yp.conf Expected Results: ypwhich reports server specified by YaST NIS Client A) Instead of copying /etc/yp.conf from old install, 15.0 installer perhaps should have entered the relevant value into /etc/sysconfig, B) YaST NIS Client should have removed or commented out any obsoleted entries from /etc/yp.conf and replaced them with the new server host/IP. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
