Subject: Aix 5.3 nis-client crashs ypserv[2358]: segfault
Package: nis
Version: 3.17-17
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

*** Please type your report below this line ***

!!! Attention: A german writes in english !!! ;-)

We are using Debian as a NIS-Server since 3 years,
with up to 100 clients on serveral locations.
With Etch we had no problems all the years.

Now we have upgraded the system to Lenny and the problem is as follow:

If a IBM-unix-workstation with aix5.3 has a networkproblem during
boot time, the system waits for the nis-service (server).
When the network is ok again, the ibm tells that the nis-server is ok, but 
in
the same second the yp-server on Lenny crashs with the message:

ypserv[2358]: segfault at 1c4ccca4 ip b7e88468 sp bf9c30e4 error 6 in 
libc-2.7.so[b7e17000+155000]

If you now restart the yp-server, it crashes again at once.

To bring the yp-server in normal operation, you now must shutdown all 
IBM-workstations, start the yp-server and after
that you can start the IBM's again and hope that you have no network 
problems during they start.

For first aid we went back from Lenny to Etch to have a secure system.
But, how we know the Etch system  get out of security-support in the next 
days.
We hope you can fix the problem.

We try to send a debug-logfile of /etc/init.d/nis start as an attachment.


Thank you for your help.
