OT: Bugfix for Samba with NIS netgroups -- how to submit?

Hello! Sorry for being off-topic. I wandered around SuSEs website but I couldn't find any place to submit bugfixes for their packages. Can anyone from SuSE tell me how this is supposed to be done? The problem: SuSE 6.4's samba 2.0.6-62 doesn't accept NIS netgroups (I don't know if any version before did that). More specifically the NIS test part of configure fails because it isn't linked with -lnsl. The fix: configure has to be called as "LIBS=-lnsl ./configure". Fixing the spec file is easy. (A fix to the configure script would be nicer but more work) I found the fix in a mail from Johannes Martin on linux.debian.bugs.dist (October 99) Cheers Robert -- Robert Casties --------------------- http://philoscience.unibe.ch/~casties History & Philosophy of Science Tel: +41/31/631-8505 Room: 216 Institute for Exact Sciences Sidlerstrasse 5, CH-3012 Bern Uni Bern (PGP key on homepage: D7 2B DE 64 2D 65 16 A0)

I'm not from SuSE, but: feedback@suse.com is the right address for you Jan

I would assume feedback@suse.de (or .com) to be appropriate. Do so together with a clear subject and a first paragraph stating that it is a *fix* for a problem in their distribution. Then the info should find its way. BTW: I don't work at SuSE and cannot and don't want to speak for them. :) virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
