RHBA-2013:0426 - ypbind bug fix update

Synopsis

ypbind bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ypbind packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The ypbind packages provide the ypbind daemon to bind NIS clients to an NIS domain. The ypbind daemon must be running on any machines that run NIS client programs.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, ypbind started too late in the boot sequence, which caused problems in some environments, where it needed to be started before netfs. This update changes the priority of the ypbind service. Now, ypbind starts as expected. (BZ#647495)

All users of ypbind are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
