Subject: firestarter breaks nis
Package: firestarter
Version: 1.0.3-1.1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Tags: patch
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Installation of firestarter breaks nis.
We have as configuration a nis server on a private network. Firestarter
is installed and options are set to allow all conections on that private
network.
The nis clients are set up with default debian configuration (+ lines
are added manually to /etc/passwd etc. as described in the documentation
to nis).
nis doesn't work; ie. a running nis still works, but when the system is
restarted nis breaks:
student2:/etc# /etc/init.d/nis restart
Starting NIS services: ypbind [binding to YP server .......... backgrounded]
nis doesn't work and displays:
YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound
Noone can any longer login into the system via nis.
No information whatever is displayed in events or other in firestarter,
that any connection was refused or else.
Stopping the firewall, everything is working again:
student2:~# /etc/init.d/firestarter stop
Stopping the Firestarter firewall:done.
student2:~# /etc/init.d/nis restart
Starting NIS services: ypbind
Unfortunately, it took me some months to locate this problem: whenever
nis is started BEFORE firestarter it continues to work; the problem only
occurs, when nis is started AFTER firestarter (eg. after the next
reboot). Furthermore, no hints are found in firestarter's events list or
in the log-files. I suspect that other services apart from nis might be
affected as well.
WORKAROUND:
add the line
domain name_of_nis-domain server 192.168.0.xxx
to the configuration file /etc/yp.conf and nis is working as expected:
student2:/etc# /etc/init.d/nis restart
Starting NIS services: ypbind
Please, keep improving that otherwise very useful and easy-to-set-up
application!
