>Number: 853 >Category: bin >Synopsis: NIS map services.byname not exported to clients correctly >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Thu Nov 30 09:10:02 PST 1995 >Last-Modified: >Originator: David Hovemeyer >Organization: Nerd Central >Release: FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE i386 >Environment: 2.1.0-951020-SNAP 2.1.0-RELEASE (problem affects both) >Description: The FreeBSD box is being used as an NIS server. The problem is with the services.byname map: for services with both a tcp and udp version, only the udp version is visible through NIS. This causes problems for clients looking for the tcp service. >How-To-Repeat: On a client, do $ ypcat services.byname|grep telnet telnet/tcp is not shown. >Fix: The problem seems to be that the services.byname database is being created with only the service name as a key: the effect being that when the upd service is added, it overwrites the tcp service with the same name. I don't know enough about NIS to fix this myself, but it sounds like upd or tcp need to be encoded in the database key. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: David Hovemeyer
