I haven't dug very deep but I am getting crashes in all applications that

in glibc.
This happens when hosts in nsswitch is set to look at nis before looking
up dns
"hosts: files nis dns".
If I reorder the line to look up dns before nis them it works fine as nis
is
never accessed. Also shutting down ypbind also makes the crashes stop.
I can get more info tomorrow morning (GMT). (Unfortunately I can't log
into that
machine from home now as I screwed something up)
Is your machine that's running ypserv set to provide host information?
That is an interesting point which I can answer tomorrow. All I know is the nis
hosts are some very old sun servers. But even if it didn't then it should just
drop though to dns and certainly not cause a crash in a user level app. It
wasn't an issue in previous versions.
Btw the apps which crashed were yum, pidgin, firefox and thunderbird. I can try
some more out but I think it is pretty generic.
