Scientific Linux: ypbind SL3.x Bug Fix Update for Connection Issues

Low: ypbind bug fix update. Date: Wed, 28 May 2008 15:35:52 -0500 Reply-To: Troy Dawson Sender: Security Errata for Scientific Linux From: Troy Dawson Subject: Security ERRATA for ypbind on SL3.x i386/x86_64 Comments: To: "This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it." Synopsis: Low: ypbind bug fix update Issue date: 2008-05-27 This updated package fixes the following bugs: * after a NIS server change, for example, after a server failure, ypbind corrupted files in the "/var/yp/binding/" directory. As well, these files were not updated, possibly causing old information to be retained. In these situations, glibc attempted to read the incorrect information, resulting in errors such as "RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused". * by default, NIS clients pinged NIS servers every 20 seconds. In large deployments, this added extra load, and could possibly cause a denial of service. In this updated package, a new "ypbind" option, "-ping-interval", has been added, which allows administrators to configure the ping interval value. SL 3.0.x SRPMS: ypbind-1.12-6.src.rpm i386: ypbind-1.12-6.i386.rpm x86_64: ypbind-1.12-6.x86_64.rpm -Connie Sieh -Troy Dawson .
