Hi Michael, thanks for looking into this!

What is the name of that script? Yes, that's right. The script is $FAI_CONFIGDIR/class/60-nis with permissions 755. > - What exactly do you refer to as "fails" - is it that the resulting classes > do > not contain "NIS" (and neither do they contain "$YPDOMAIN")? Exactly. > - Did you try to add debugging information like echo'ing "my XXYPDOMAIN: > XX$YPDOMAIN" (which might in your case result in XX only, if $YPDOMAIN turns > out to be empty)? Not until you suggested it. Now I tried echo'ing XX$YPDOMAIN, ending up with "XX" in the resulting classes list. So $YPDOMAIN obviously remains unset (or empty?). Here's the snippet from fai.log: <...> /usr/bin/fai-class: File 60-nis found. Executing /var/lib/fai/config/class/60-nis. 60-nis OK. /usr/bin/fai-class: Adding class XX <...> > - What is the contents of boot.log on your client? > The boot.log file on the client contains the following lines: netdevices_all="eth0" netdevices_up="eth0" netdevices="eth0" BROADCAST='192.168.0.255' DOMAIN='my.network.domain' DNSSRVS='192.168.0.11 192.168.0.12 192.168.0.13' DNSSRVS_1='192.168.0.11' DNSSRVS_2='192.168.0.12' DNSSRVS_3='192.168.0.13' HOSTNAME='demo0' IPADDR='192.168.0.101' NETWORK='192.168.0.0' YPSRVR='192.168.0.2' YPSRVR_1='192.168.0.2' NTPSRVS='192.168.0.2' NTPSRVS_1='192.168.0.2' GATEWAYS='192.168.0.1' GATEWAYS_1='192.168.0.1' SERVER='192.168.0.10' NETMASK='255.255.255.0' All the above variables are correct, but the variable YPDOMAIN='my-nis-domain+01' is missing, although it's supllied by the DHCP server. Here's the config line from dhcpd.conf: option nis-domain "my-nis-domain+01"; When I replace the plus sign by a minus sign, so that the NIS domain name is "my-nis-domain-01", and doing a faireboot on the install client, then 1) the NIS domain gets properly set during the installation sequence and 2) the boot.log additionally contains the line YPDOMAIN='my-nis-domain-01' and the resulting classes do contain "NIS MY_NIS_DOMAIN_01". Here's the relevant snippet from fai.log for this case: <...> /usr/bin/fai-class: File 60-nis found. Executing /var/lib/fai/config/class/60-nis. 60-nis OK. /usr/bin/fai-class: Adding class NIS MY_NIS_DOMAIN_01 <...> So the script generally works, if YPDOMAIN finds it's way into boot.log. I'm not absolutely sure about if this bug should be filed against fai-nfsroot package, but as far as I tried to debug this, I came across /usr/share/fai/dhclient-fai-script which is provided as script file to dhlclient (with -sf option) and simply executes 'perl /usr/lib/fai/dhclient-perl'. I filed this bug against fai-nfsroot, because both those files are part of this package. Regards, Michael
