Description of problem: Nis server not working. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ypserv-2.27-1.mga2.x86_64.rpm How reproducible: Every time after install Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install system 2.set up all users 3.cd to /usr/lib64/yp and run ./ypinit -m With the last few revs form Mandriva then Mageia this is all I had to do, to get the nis server to work. If I load webmin and try to configure it is says system does not support nis server.

Is this a duplicate of bug 3444 ?

No I don't think so. I tried to load the module manually and got the message system does not support nis server. With Mageia 1 I didn't need webmin to install the nis server.
I installed beta 3 last night and it also has the same problem. I did noticed that even though I put "NISDOMAIN" in the etc/sysconfig/network file its not being set.
I installed the RC last night and it also has the same problem.

Hi, This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment. Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2. Thanks :) Cheers, marja

Nope still doesn't work. I installed the final yesterday. Same problem. still wont be able to roll out to the server.
Also forgot to mention I can't Webmin to configure the nis server.
(In reply to comment #8) > Also forgot to mention I can't Webmin to configure the nis server. Bug 3444 prevents a lot of server apps working with webmin.
NISDOMAIN is not usally set by ypserv but by initscript (Networks one). So I'll check but I think this issue does not belong to ypserv.
I can confirm (a) that this is also a Mageia 2 issue, and have changed the "Version" accordingly. The reason is simply that the initscripts fail to call the "domainname" command (or any of its equivalents) to set the NIS domain name. My fix: Add the lines - if [ "$NISDOMAIN" ] - then - nisdomainname "$NISDOMAIN" - fi to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth After this, NIS client works well. Keith Refson

Nope still don't work with Alpha 2. Tried the fix mentioned With Mageia 2 and Alpha 2 but that didn't work ether.
This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life. Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- The Mageia Bugsquad
