I have no idea what it actually is, but NIS only functions error free if I am running nscd on my local system. The slightest amount of network traffic that slows down the local network always results in NIS errors unless I'm running nscd. This happened somewhere around fedora 12 or 13 I seem to recall. Never ran nscd before that, and never had a problem, and none of the local network infrastructure changed, so I figured it must be something in libc that was more sensitive to slight delays in responses. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
