Subject: Re: ports/12748: linux_base-5.2 and linux communicator problem

Hello again,
Unfortunately, the problem *can* be reproduced:
Linux_base doesn't work with NIS/YP, at least not for sending mail with
netscape. The problem described in PR-12748 happens only when the user
running linux-netscape is in the NIS/YP database. Local users can send
mails with no problem, but not when the passwd info is stored in a NIS
database.
I guess you'll have to reopen this PR? :-(
I have tried the obvious nsswitch.conf, and modified it to use nis and
files for everything, but to no avail.
I also tried running the glibc version of netscape, but it gives me a
bus error every time. (I had to install libXpm from an rpm, or it would
complain about missing libs.)
Maybe it's related to pam or the shadow password file?
I someone could help me fix this, I'll be much obliged!
Thanks!

PS. There seems that the libc's are somewhat dirfferent, but may not
mean anything? (/usr/local/compat is linux_lib-2.6 and /usr/compat is
linux_base-5.2):
