The value of "nis-nameservice-servers" must be addresses, hostnames are not
allowed. paul-02 from the code review comments points out that NIS doesn't do
nameservice lookups.
paul-02 net-loc'265: do_nis(): Keep in mind that the ypservers, if listed
by name, need to be in /etc/hosts. NIS looks explicitly there and does not so
regular nameservice lookup. Not sure if this is really the place to address it,
but there probably should be some warning when the user is doing manual config
and uses a hostname.
Thus, the "nis-nameservice-servers" was modified to take addresses only.
However, when upgrading from Phase 0/0.5, users may have hostnames in
/var/yp/binding/<default-domain>/ypservers, with the address being listed in
/etc/hosts. In these situations, nwamcfg fails to create the Legacy location.
/var/svc/log/network-location\:default.log has the following error messages:
On line 9 of /etc/svc/volatile/nwam/create_loc_legacy:
Set error: invalid value
'nis-nameservice-servers' specifies NIS server host address(es)
