 On my NIS client system (running nis 3.15-2), I have my NIS accounts
 imported using a netgroup in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow
 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]:::...).
 When I try to log in or su to a NIS account, I get the following error:
  
 bash: nss_nis/nis-netgrp.c:79: _nss_nis_setnetgrent: Assertion
 `malloc_usable_size (netgrp-data) = len + 1' failed.
Since thats a glibc file, I suspect a glibc bug.  Libraries should
never fail assertions.  In fact, shouldn't assertions be disabled with
-DNDEBUG=1?

On my NIS client system (running nis 
3.15-2), I have my NIS accountsimported using a netgroup in /etc/passwd and 
/etc/shadow ([EMAIL PROTECTED]:::...).When I try to log 
in or su to a NIS account, I get the following error:

bash: nss_nis/nis-netgrp.c:79: 
_nss_nis_setnetgrent: Assertion `malloc_usable_size (netgrp-data) = len 
+ 1' failed.

and bash exits immediately. 
When I modify /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow toimport all NIS users rather than 
only those in the netgroup, bash works fine.
