Hello guys,
I have noticed that with my Red Hat 4.0 system, if I export a
directory to the world with nfs (I have included my /etc/exports file
at the end) and the system is running NIS (with yp.conf included at
the end) the rpc.mountd will crash every time a client tries to mount
the exported directory.
The problem is that this is the machine I use as a Red Hat mirror,
and from which people at the university install Red Hat over nfs.
I have included a workaround patch for the nfs programs that will
fix this, but obviously, the right fix would be to figure out what is
wrong with the libc.
Gethostbyaddr is returning an empty h_name for a host that has a
valid name on the DNS, but it is filling correctly h_aliases in the
hostent structure.
Best wishes,
Miguel.
/etc/yp.conf:
domainname nuclecu.unam.mx
ypserver some.ip
/etc/exports:
/export (ro,insecure)
