Hello. As I have mentioned on this list several times, I have
upgraded my machine to a fair amount of libc6 stuff. In general, it
seems to be working pretty well, but a lot of the NIS stuff is messed
up. It is my understanding that this is because the NIS stuff used to
be handle by a user level "ypbind", and now libc6 is handling it in
the shared libraries.
What I _don't_ know is if I have my nsswitch.conf file set up
correctly. I can't seem to locate documentation for it, so it makes
it hard to check :-) An example of a problem I'm having:
ls -al
total 10436
drwxrwxrwx 20 root root 1024 Oct 6 16:14 ./
drwxr-xr-x 31 root root 1024 Oct 1 13:18 ../
drwxr-xr-x 3 5010 dialout 1024 Aug 26 15:42 blex/
drwxr-xr-x 3 278 dialout 1024 Aug 5 11:22 bsingh/
drwxr-xr-x 3 262 dialout 1024 Aug 25 11:23 cdieckma/
drwxr-xr-x 3 256 dialout 1024 Aug 9 16:53 dcmadhava/
Notice the numeric owners of these files... Kind of nuisance - not a
big deal. But I'm wondering if it's me, or broken stuff.
(The dialout groups are because the mappings from our NIS group
"others" hits that of "dialout" on my local config - it's always been
like that and it's no big deal.)
Thanks,
Dale
