Bug 3103 – Setting YP_DOMAIN in /etc/conf.d/ypbind has no effect.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Lars Pechan 2002-05-28 04:07:37 UTC]

I tracked it down to what's probably a typo in /etc/init.d/ypbind:

There is a test done like this in checkconfig()

if [ -s "$YP_DOMAIN" ] && return 0

This is looking for the file denoted by $YP_DOMAIN rather than checking for the 
existence of the variable.

I changed it to 

if [ -n "$YP_DOMAIN" ] && return 0

i.e. if the length of string defined by $YP_DOMAIN is non-zero then we're fine.

Works ok with the change.

The ebuild version is ypbind-1.11
