IMO this is not a bug of FAI.

The FAI scripts calls following command in get-boot-info
    dhclient -lf /dev/null -cf /usr/share/fai/dhclient-fai.conf -sf 
/usr/share/fai/dhclient-fai-script $netdevices >>$bootlog 2> 
$LOGDIR/dhclient.log


I changed the dhclient-fai-script to a simple shell (/tmp/x) script which does
#! /bin/bash
printenv


If I now call
    # dhclient -lf /dev/null -cf /usr/share/fai/dhclient-fai.conf -sf /tmp/x 
eth0
on a test machine, and set the nis domain name to something containing a
plus (+), no nis variable is defined.

Without a plus I get this:
# dhclient -lf /dev/null -cf /usr/share/fai/dhclient-fai.conf -sf /tmp/x 
eth0|grep nis
new_nis_domain=some_nis_domain01


This proves, that it's a bug of dhclient (or the dhcpd server), but
not a problem of the dhcp related FAI scripts.

Please reassign this bug if you agree with me.


P.S.: Did anyone checked if a plus sign is allowed in nis domain
names?
