Bug 13837 – ypserv: there is no init script for rpc.yppasswdd

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrea Barisani (RETIRED) 2003-01-13 05:10:43 UTC]

rcp.yppasswd must be started manually or with a custom init.d script, it would
be logic to add a rpc.yppasswdd init script in /etc/init.d or put its invocation
directly in /etc/init.d/ypserv (maybe by looking a YPPASSWDD_DAEMON=1 option in
/etc/conf.d/ypserv)

In addition, the server is at version 2.8 now, and portage still has 2.5.  I've made updated ebuilds for ypserv, ypbind, and yp-tools to the newest versions.  I've also included a startup script for rpc.yppasswdd, and updated ypserv.rc and a conf.d file for ypserv as well.  

After posting this comment I'll attach the files.  They are as follows:

ypserv-2.8.ebuild   -   updated ypserv ebuild
rpc.yppasswdd       -   startup script for rpc.yppasswdd
ypserv.rc           -   startup script for ypserv
ypserv.conf         -   conf.d script which goes with ypserv.rc

ypserv-2.8.ebuild belongs in net-nds/ypserv.  the other three belong in net-nds/ypserv/files.

yp-tools-2.8.ebuild -   updated yp-tools ebuild
ypbind-1.12.ebuild  -   updated ypbind


I don't know if this is the best way of getting this taken care of, or if I would be better of submitting a new bug.  I'll give this a shot, though.

startup script for rpc.yppasswdd

goes in net-nds/ypserv/files/.	This is used by the new ypserv.ebuild I
submitted.

This is similar to the ypserv.rc6 that's already there, but not quite the same.

This is fixed in ypserv-2.8, which is in portage.  There is a very simple rpc.yppasswdd in /etc/init.d.  It works for me :).

I would ignore all the attachments I posted previously, as they are nullified by the patch that's already been applied to the portage tree.

Shall we mark this resolved fixed?
