--- Begin Message ---Subject: nis: map values containing non-ascii characters vanish Package: nis Version: 3.17-6 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system Solaris 10 and Debian nis package 3.13-2 both accept non-ascii characters in maps: sol-10$ ypcat passwd|grep Mark|awk -F: '{print $5}'|od -c 0000000 K . M a r k s t r 367 m \n 0000015 nis_3.13-2$ ypcat passwd|grep Mark|awk -F: '{print $5}'|od -c 0000000 K . M a r k s t r 367 m \n 0000015 However, 3.17-6 does not: nis_3.17-6$ ypcat passwd|grep Mark|awk -F: '{print $5}'|od -c 0000000 This breaks login access to the system. Custom maps may also not behave as expected, which leads to silent corruption of other data on the system. For example, I build my apache htpasswd files using NIS password data and users with non-ascii in their gecos are silently excluded. -- Package-specific info: nm-tool is not installed -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages nis depends on: hi debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11etch1 Debian configuration management sy hi libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.0.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.71-3 simple interprocess messaging syst hi libgdbm3 1.8.3-3 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libslp1 1.2.1-6.2 OpenSLP libraries hi lsb-base 3.1-23.2etch1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip hi make 3.81-2 The GNU version of the "make" util hi netbase 4.29 Basic TCP/IP networking system hi portmap 5-26 The RPC portmapper nis recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded
