Which part of NIS? There's a new upstream for libnsl <https://github.com/thkukuk/libnsl> and the NSS module <https://github.com/thkukuk/libnss_nis>. (There is a nisplus module as well.) All these use libtirpc and support IPv6 in addition to IPv4. As far as I know, it is possible to build a full NIS stack without relying on any of the legacy glibc code. (I don't know about nfswatch.) _______________________________________________ Y2038 mailing list Y2038@lists.linaro.org https://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/y2038
