Package: nis Version: 3.13-1 Severity: normal
With a ksh-like shell (such as pdksh) as /bin/sh, /etc/init.d/nis stop fails with a syntax error on line 160. This is because the nis init script attempts to define a function stop(), which is a predefined function for handling the STOP signal. The best ways I think this could be resolved: - use the case $1 in start|stop|... that is used by many other packages - rename the stop function to nis_stop or similar -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7eagle-20040916 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages nis depends on: ii debconf 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-2 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii libslp1 1.0.11a-2 OpenSLP libraries ii make 3.80-9 The GNU version of the "make" util ii netbase 4.20 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii portmap 5-9 The RPC portmapper ii sysvinit 2.86.ds1-1 System-V like init -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
