Hi! I'm having the same problem with new Debian's libc6, but due to different usage symptoms are different (I didn't tried to login to NIS accounts, I can expose problem without it).
For the test, I have "zhinis" NIS user, which is member of "pwr" netgroup. If I have "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" entry in /etc/passwd, tilde expansion crashes bash: > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls ~z > bash: nss_nis/nis-netgrp.c:79: _nss_nis_setnetgrent: Assertion > `malloc_usable_size (netgrp->data) >= len + 1' failed. > Aborted (core dumped) although getent works OK: > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ getent passwd zhinis > zhinis:x:2004:2004:NIS test user Z:/home/zhinis:/bin/zsh4 > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls ~zhinis > ls: /home/zhinis: No such file or directory // pam_mkhomedir.so didn't run yet for this user ;) If I remove "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" entry or change it to some _non-existent_ netgroup, ~-expansion works OK. // it also works OK if I `/etc/init.d/nis stop` /etc/nsswitch.conf defines NIS as source for netgroup P.S. The same shit with ksh93, tcsh and sash, although zsh, pdksh, posh, busybox-static (IMHO irrelevant :)), mksh and dash work OK. // Didn't tried osh. -- WBR, xrgtn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
