Fedora Core 6 Update: ypbind-1.19-7.fc6
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2007-502 2007-05-14 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 6 Name : ypbind Version : 1.19 Release : 7.fc6 Summary : The NIS daemon which binds NIS clients to an NIS domain. Description : The Network Information Service (NIS) is a system that provides network information (login names, passwords, home directories, group information) to all of the machines on a network. NIS can allow users to log in on any machine on the network, as long as the machine has the NIS client programs running and the user's password is recorded in the NIS passwd database. NIS was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP). This package provides the ypbind daemon. The ypbind daemon binds NIS clients to an NIS domain. Ypbind must be running on any machines running NIS client programs. Install the ypbind package on any machines running NIS client programs (included in the yp-tools package). If you need an NIS server, you also need to install the ypserv package to a machine on your network. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Thu May 10 2007 Steve Dickson <steved redhat com> - 3:1.19-7 - Fixed typo in init script (bz 233459) - Changed init script to look in /etc/yp.conf for the domain name when not already set. (bz 113386) - Reworked init script to eliminate unreasonable hangs when ypbind cannot bind to nis server. (bz 112770) --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/ edf96ff70124bc298410e9a78765c52980c41fca SRPMS/ypbind-1.19-7.fc6.src.rpm edf96ff70124bc298410e9a78765c52980c41fca noarch/ypbind-1.19-7.fc6.src.rpm f11e14972581815d45cdebeae306e92a511015c0 ppc/ypbind-1.19-7.fc6.ppc.rpm 7e0ee1f6617d079b2ae9e0f206d03936f05bcb44 ppc/debug/ypbind-debuginfo-1.19-7.fc6.ppc.rpm 5dff74fa28901082e152823433f725f6c14b8437 x86_64/debug/ypbind-debuginfo-1.19-7.fc6.x86_64.rpm fa2c3e612e6e176d24c44dcd60ed80eed5d03ff5 x86_64/ypbind-1.19-7.fc6.x86_64.rpm 4e4584b7229459b7096f136ff15eb1fc31a3ec46 i386/debug/ypbind-debuginfo-1.19-7.fc6.i386.rpm 3cf3340966420d922887491f9fedf4c877d867f4 i386/ypbind-1.19-7.fc6.i386.rpm This update can be installed with the 'yum' update program.
