Description marco tux4ever 2021-03-25 22:13:33 CET 
NIS does not work with new glibc 2.32
nss_nis is missing.
if you configure nis in /etc/nsswitch.conf and use ypbind-2.7.2-3.1 (now in update_testing) ypbind is working correctly, but the maps of ypserver are not use.

nss_nis or libnss_nis  is needed for nis to work.

Comment 2 marco tux4ever 2021-03-26 18:49:20 CET 
with nss_nis-3.1-6.fc33.x86_64.rpm and ypbind-2.7.2-3.1 nis is working and I did not find a bug.
Comment 3 Thomas Backlund 2021-03-26 19:17:04 CET 
yeah, I suspected we might be missing some nis bits when we switched to new glibc,
but I did not dig into all bits as I dont use it and I wasn't sure we had users of it...

but as we now have it confirmed we missed some bits, and people need and actually use it, we need to introduce it in Cauldron and mga 8 updates

Comment 5 marco tux4ever 2021-04-11 22:35:12 CEST 
Hello, is there some news about nss_nis ? For now I'm using nss_nis-3.1-6.fc33.x86_64.rpm but this is still a bad workaround. Thank you all for the work.
Comment 6 Thomas Backlund 2021-04-12 10:52:33 CEST 
Sorry, I got sidetracked fixing other issues...

I've just built:

SRPM:
nss_nis-3.1-1.mga8.src.rpm

i586:
libnss_nis2-3.1-1.mga8.i586.rpm

x86_64:
lib64nss_nis2-3.1-1.mga8.x86_64.rpm


please test if it works
Comment 7 marco tux4ever 2021-04-19 11:34:47 CEST 
I've just tested it. It works fine ! 
Thanks for all.

Great to hear

and I assume you tested the x86_64 rpm ?
Comment 9 marco tux4ever 2021-04-22 10:21:46 CEST 
--> and I assume you tested the x86_64 rpm ? :
Yes that's it. I didn't have a way to test the i586.rpm.

No worries about that, it's just so we know what arch it's tested & known to work on before validating it and pushing to updates

validating based on comment 7 and comment 9.
