FreeBSD 2.1.7, achieved by supping -stable on to a 2.1.5 machine
and re-making the world
>Description:
/usr/src/etc/sysconfig contains the two lines
# Set to appropriate flags for rpc.yppasswdd, if you wish to run it.
# Typical flags might be "-t /var/yp/master.passwd -s -f"
^^
There is no '-t' flag for yppasswdd in 2.1.7 (at least, the man
page doesn't mention it, and it's not apparent in the source code
(/usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/ypasswdd/yppasswdd.c).
It looks as though the flag should be '-m'.
I dimly recall a discussion on one of the lists re: changing the
flag FROM '-t' TO '-m'. It looks like the reference in sysconfig
wasn't updated at the same time.
>How-To-Repeat:
Look at /etc/sysconfig in RELENG_2_1_0
>Fix:
Replace '-t' with '-m'
