Package: yp-tools Version: 4.2.3-3
With the new 4.x version of NIS this happens $ ypcat passwd nickname file /var/yp/nicknames does not exist. No such map passwd. Reason: No such map in server's domain The old 3.x nis tools provided the file /var/yp/nicknames, so one can call ypcat passwd instead of ypcat passwd.byname ypcat (4.x) still looks for /var/yp/nicknames, but it's not provided by the yp-tools package. After copying the nicknames file to /var/yp ypcat passwd works nicely. -- regards Thomas
