Description Martin Mrazik 2005-09-02 10:44:52 UTC 
I have this setup:

two hosts - both running sl10 beta4 (moody.suse.cz & dhcp44). On moody I
configured master nis server with active slave (added dhdp44.suse.cz to the list
of slave servers).

On dhcp44 I'm trying to configure nis slave server using yast. The configuration
ends with this error: "Hostname of this host (dhcp44.suse.cz) is not listed in
the master's list".

Finally this appears on my commandline:

dhcp44:~ # yast2&
[1] 19070
dhcp44:~ # Command: /sbin/yast2 nis_server &
Command: /sbin/yast2 nis_server &
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xbfd077dc ***

I'm not sure about that 'free' warning - it is not an issue of yast2-nis-server,
might be related to yast2-core package (thought I doubt).

However, the problem with unconfigured server should be easy to fix; Andreas,
could I submit it into RC1?
Comment 3 Jiří Suchomel 2005-09-02 13:28:46 UTC 
Ah, that glibc message comes from the call
/usr/lib/yp/ypxfr -f -h moody.suse.cz suse.cz shadow.byname

-> Thorsten, could you look at it?

And I have one more question for you (just reassuring): 
"/usr/lib/yp/makedbm -u /var/yp/suse.cz/ypservers" used to produce the output
int the form "key value" (with space), but now it looks like uses \t instead of
space. Could I rely on this fact?

Backtrace? I cannot reproduce that with our servers here and I never
heard about such problems.

In the past it used sometimes wrongly " " (space). You should except both, space
and/or tab. It depends on the implementation and the kind of map.

Between, using "/usr/lib/yp/ypxfr -f -h moody.suse.cz suse.cz shadow.byname"
gives an usage error and with -s:
kukuk@firun:~> /usr/lib/yp/ypxfr -f -h moody.suse.cz -s suse.cz shadow.byname
ypxfr: Can't find server for map
Comment 6 Jiří Suchomel 2005-09-02 13:41:57 UTC 
Sorry, the missing parameter was -d (try it from dhcp44.suse.cz):
/usr/lib/yp/ypxfr -f -h moody.suse.cz -d suse.cz shadow.byname
