System: FreeBSD laksmi 5.1-BETA FreeBSD 5.1-BETA #1: Wed May 28 14:01:30 JST 2003 yoshin-t at laksmi:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/Laksmi i386
>Description:
Since src/lib/libc/gen/getpwent.c revision 1.70, getpwent(3) calls "yp_order",
precisely in nis_map() function.
yp_order is not supportted by NIS+ in YP comatible mode servers.
This is denoted in getpwent.c of revision 1.69,
also in current src/lib/libc/yp/yplib.c.
Due to yp_oredr failure for NIS+ server, nis_passwd() in getpwent.c stops
looking up passwd.by*(or master.passwd.by*) maps.
After all, users on NIS+ passwd are ignored.
>How-To-Repeat:
Please try NIS+ in YP compatible mode such as Solaris.
Any users on NIS+ passwd database cannot login into FreeBSD 5-Current.
>Fix:
Replacing yp_order() by yp_master() in nis_map(),
it seems working fine for me.
