http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1171012 Bug ID: 1171012 Summary: NIS authentication does not work because ypbind is originating on a non-priviledged port Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Network Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: nanook@eskimo.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
