Name        : slapi-nis

Summary     : NIS Server and Schema Compatibility plugins for Directory Server
Description :
This package provides two plugins for Red Hat and 389 Directory Server.

The NIS Server plugin allows the directory server to act as a NIS server
for clients, dynamically generating and updating NIS maps according to
its configuration and the contents of the DIT, and serving the results to
clients using the NIS protocol as if it were an ordinary NIS server.

The Schema Compatibility plugin allows the directory server to provide an
alternate view of entries stored in part of the DIT, optionally adding,
dropping, or renaming attribute values, and optionally retrieving values
for attributes from multiple entries in the tree.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update incorporates a cosmetic fix where the plugin would misreport whether or not it had been built with support for transactions, a possible heap corruption bug which could occur when maps or groups of entries were removed from its configuration, and leaking the memory used to hold the parameters of a client's yp_all() request.

ChangeLog:

* Mon Dec 16 2013 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.52-1

  would hit when removing maps or groups of maps (#1043546)
* Mon Dec  9 2013 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin at redhat.com> - 0.51-1
- fix another request argument memory leak in NIS server
- fix miscellaneous items found by static analysis
