I have an OpenSuse Tumbleweed machine as part of an NIS network. Authentication is shared for all users across the network via NIS. A couple of months ago an update to Tumbleweed broke NIS severely. It took me a long time to determine what was wrong but what is happening is that it is originating the connections to the NIS servers using a non-priviledged port, and because of that can not obtain the map passwd.adjunct.byname or byuid, because these maps are available to root users / privileged ports only.

I saw another bug that had narrowed this down to a specific library but I can not find it because search here is not working, it hangs indefinitely.

That was a change in libtirpc, I thought we reverted it... But using this privileged/non-provileged port "feature" does not give you any kind of additional security. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
