I don't know, if this is a bug with libc5 or with nis, but I am trying to use nis-2.0-1 from rex to connect to a master server in another subnet. What I do is:
ypbind -ypsetme (any other possibility?) ypset master After that, ypcat and friends work ok. I can login fine. But every minute 6 crons start up, 3 of which are sleeping, the other 3 running, but in an endless loop. Also sendmail subprocesses hang in a running state, and when I try to su, it also hangs. This is an strace from an su. Obviously, the program is in an endless loop, but why? I use a self-compiled kernel 2.0.25 together with libc-5.4.13-1, cron-3.0pl1-34, sendmail-8.7.6-2, su from shellutils-1.12-5 (although I think, it is more a library and/or kernel issue). close(5) = 0 getpid() = 4413 gettimeofday({849706405, 504544}, NULL) = 0 getpid() = 4413 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP) = 5 bind(5, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(719), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0 ioctl(5, FIONBIO, [1]) = 0 fcntl(5, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 getpid() = 4413 close(5) = 0 gettimeofday({849706405, 518315}, NULL) = 0 getpid() = 4413 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP) = 5 bind(5, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(720), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0 ioctl(5, FIONBIO, [1]) = 0 fcntl(5, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 sendto(5, "3\242\2043\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\2\0\1\206"..., 76, 0, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(632), sin_addr=inet_addr("132.252.79.145")}, 16) = 76 oldselect(256, [5], NULL, NULL, {5, 0}) = 1 (in [5], left {5, 0}) --- SIGINT (Interrupt) --- +++ killed by SIGINT +++ Harald Schueler Universitaet Essen Tel +49-201-1832456 Fachbereich 7 Fax +49-201-1832120 45117 Essen Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
