fc27: nis/ypbind?

[Ralf Corsepius]

Hi,

I have been using yp/nis for ages, but with fc27 things stopped working?

Has anybody managed to get ypbind/nis working with fc27? If so, how?


To me, yp/nis seems to be in an untested shape and unusable in fc27.

Some more insights: The culprit is seems to be SELinux.

Apparently Fc27's rpcbind/ypserv/ypbind SELinux support is broken

i haven't seen an active NIS installation in real life in the last
years. You should think about switching to LDAP with or without
kerberos. That's much better tested.

It's my home/office network ;)

Well, I haven't seen a functionally equivalent/usable/maintainable 
LDAP-Installation anywhere. All implementation lack somewhere ;)

Besides this, I don't accept this as excuse for maintainers shipping 
crap, rsp. them not doing their works  - Which apparently is the case 
wrt. rpcbind/ypbind/ypserv/SELinux (and systemd)

Your decision.

then you should create a bug report. I'm assuming that the maintainer
did not read this list.
