The ypcat program is just a thin wrapper around glibc routines. It uses yp_all to ask glibc to iterate over all the keys in the map doing this: static int print_data (int status, char *inkey, int inkeylen, char *inval, int invallen, char *indata __attribute__ ((unused))) { if (status != YP_TRUE) return status; if (kflag && (inkeylen > 0)) { if (inkey[inkeylen - 1] == '\0') --inkeylen; fprintf (stdout, "%*.*s ", inkeylen, inkeylen, inkey); } if (invallen > 0) { if (inval[invallen -1] == '\0') --invallen; fprintf (stdout, "%*.*s\n", invallen, invallen, inval); } else fputs ("\n", stdout); return 0; } In any case, the major issue reported was with login and account lookups which are handled by the NSS module provided by glibc, the RCness being due to the inability to log in. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
