Debian Changelog nis (3.17-6)

2007

nis (3.17-6) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Set Network Manager support to disabled in /etc/default/nis, working
     around problems caused by bogus link state reports from Network Manager
     when it is not in use.

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Mon, 19 Mar 2007 22:49:30 +0000

nis (3.17-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add Dutch translation of the Debconf templates, kindly provided by Bart
     Cornelis <cobaco@skolelinux.no> (closes: #413893, #413898).
   * Add X-Vcs-Bzr to the control file.

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Wed, 7 Mar 2007 18:47:28 +0000

nis (3.17-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add Galician translation of Debconf templates, kindly supplied by Jacobo
     Tarrio <jtarrio@trasno.net> (closes: #412865).

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Wed, 28 Feb 2007 19:39:37 +0000

nis (3.17-3) unstable; urgency=low

     Flaubert <stonescenter@gmail.com> (closes: #409804).
   * Report Network Manager configuration in reportbug script.

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Mon, 5 Feb 2007 20:58:52 +0000

2006

nis (3.17-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Don't fail hard if we can't connect to the dbus at startup, instead fall
     back to the previous behaviour.  Users who wish to use Network Manager
     integration will need to arrange for ypbind to be restarted or rearrange
     their init sequence to gain any benefit (closes: #388333).
   * Fix typo of -no-dbus option in man page (closes: #388420).

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Wed, 20 Sep 2006 20:52:15 +0100

nis (3.17-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release: ypbind-mt-1.20.1.
   * This release incldues a patch from Martin Dorey <martin.dorey@bluearc.com>
     adding handling of SIGPIPE to ypbind-mt (closes: #386641).
   * Enable upstream support for Network Manager in ypbind-mt.

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Mon, 18 Sep 2006 19:57:01 +0100

nis (3.16-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Update the control file too.

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Wed, 6 Sep 2006 21:26:09 +0100

nis (3.16-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Drop dependency on sysvinit for invoke-rc.d.  Since prerm was already
     testing for it being installed provide the same fallback to invoking the
     init script directly for postinst.

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Wed, 6 Sep 2006 00:04:20 +0100

nis (3.16-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Convert init script to use LSB output functions (closes: #385717).
   * Use invoke-rc.d in prerm like we ought to.
   * Update to policy 3.7.2.
   * Remove spurious period from the nis/not-yet-configured title and run
     debconf-updatepo for the first time in a long time.  I've manually
     unfuzzed translations using the period, hope that has worked OK.
   * Fix absolute symlinks to domainname and yppasswd that should be relative.
   * Strip ypxfr.

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Sat, 2 Sep 2006 22:18:27 +0100

nis (3.16-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add some LSB information to the init script.

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Mon, 10 Jul 2006 19:29:11 +0100

nis (3.16-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Update ypserv to 2.19.

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Mon, 1 May 2006 19:59:23 +0100

2005

nis (3.15-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Turn off debug_flag by default in ypxfr, silencing warnings about
     endianess problems causing a fallback to enumeration.  To make sure
     diagnostics don't get lost when not invoked from yppushd output any
     output to stderr if there is an error.  The -debug command line option
     can still be used (closes: #247956).
   * Run ypbind on NIS servers too since yppush wants to use it to
     enumerate maps (closes: #228903).

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Sun, 13 Nov 2005 20:07:34 +0000

nis (3.15-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add Swedish translation of the Debconf templates provided by Daniel
     Nylander <yeager@lidkoping.net> (closes: #332355).

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Sun, 16 Oct 2005 11:49:25 +0100

nis (3.15-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream releases.
    - Update ypbind-mt to 2.19.1.
    - Update ypserv to 2.18.
   * Correct name of debconf variable used to read existing configuration
     during config (closes: #330399).
   * Don't bomb out if we are unable to obtain the hostname while trying to
     make up a default name for the domain (closes: #327224).

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Fri, 30 Sep 2005 17:27:44 +0100

nis (3.14-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add alternative for debconf-2.0.
   * Update debconf version requirement to 0.5.
   * Policy 3.6.2 (no changes).

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Wed, 3 Aug 2005 23:27:38 +0100

nis (3.14-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New maintainer.
   * Update ypbind-mt to 2.19.
   * Update ypserv to 2.17.

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Mon, 11 Jul 2005 16:27:51 +0300

nis (3.13-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add Vietnamese translation of the Debconf templates, kindly provided by
     Clytie Siddall <clytie@riverland.net.au> (closes: #316057).

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Tue, 28 Jun 2005 22:26:52 +0100

nis (3.13-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Include updated translation of German Debconf templates provided by Jens
     Seidel <jensseidel@users.sf.net> (closes: #313962).
   * Move sourcing of debconf after emergency restart in order to avoid hanging
     onto the debconf file descriptor when we don't want to.
   * Move domain name prompt into a newly crated config script.  Manual changes
     to /etc/defaultdomain will override any configuration in Debconf and
     /etc/defaultdomain will be regenerated each install (closes: #311416).
   * Only prompt for client configuration on first configuration rather than
     every time postinst runs.

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Tue, 21 Jun 2005 22:44:13 +0100

nis (3.13-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add patch from Alexander Achenbach <xela@slit.de> preserving errno over
     SIGCHLD hanlders in ypserv programs other than ypserv since that already
     does so (closes: #306925).

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Sun, 1 May 2005 13:58:08 +0100

nis (3.13-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Rename start and stop functions in init script for compatiblilty with
     ksh (closes: #302821).
   * Add YPPUSHARGS above the "don't modify" warnings in the Makefile since
     users might reasonably want to specify some additional flags but be put off
     by the warnings (closes: #250923).
   * We don't build depend on autoconf.

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Sun, 3 Apr 2005 12:29:38 +0100

nis (3.13-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Update ypbind-mt to version 1.18.
   * Don't mention touching /etc/networks in the HOWTO since this is no longer
     required (closes: #290307).
   * Ask users to remove the system hostname from the localhost entry in
     /etc/hosts so that localhost doesn't get reported as the master server.
     Debian Installer sets things up this way (closes: #275885).

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Sat, 15 Jan 2005 14:24:11 +0000

2004

nis (3.12-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix tyop in init script (closes: #285799).

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Thu, 16 Dec 2004 12:28:30 +0000

nis (3.12-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add Czech translation of the Debconf templates, kindly provided by Jan
     Outrata <outrataj@upcase.inf.upol.cz> (closes: #276666).

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Sat, 16 Oct 2004 13:53:32 +0100

nis (3.12-1) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Upgrade ypserv to 2.14 (fixing some resource leaks).
   * Upgrade yp-tools to 2.9.
   * Fix number of :s for shadow in the HOWTO (closes: #270454).
   * Retitle section 2 of the HOWTO and reference it at the end of section 1,
     hopefully making it easier for users to find (closes: #265153).

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Sat, 18 Sep 2004 13:26:36 +0100

nis (3.11-4) unstable; urgency=high

   * memset() result structures to zero before calling clnt_call in ypxfr
     (closes: #264587).
   * Allow null YPPWDDIR (closes: #262001).

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Tue, 10 Aug 2004 01:41:45 +0100

nis (3.11-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add Catalan translation of Debconf templates provided by Aleix Badia i
     Bosch <a.badia@callusdigital.org> (closes: #248736).

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Sat, 22 May 2004 13:05:01 +0100

nis (3.11-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Apply patch by Alex Larsson <alexl@redhat.com> adding support for MD5
     passwords to yppasswd.  This is not the ultimate fix since it doesn't
     integrate at all with PAM or cope with shadow passwords but it does go
     some way towards addressing the problems (closes: #137452, #171756).
   * Add NISMASTER option to to defaults which causes the init script to run
     ypinit before starting a slave server (closes: #87593).
   * By default exclude the nobody user and group when building maps in
     /var/yp/Makefile using a patch by Alex Larsson <alexl@redhat.com> from the
     RedHat/Fedora package.  Don't do it by defining maximum IDs since they can
     be 32 bit in this day and age (closes: #133832).
   * Pass non-standard GECOS fields through ypchfn unmodified rather than
     deleting them (closes: #146065).
   * Rather than hard coding the list of maps to transfer in ypxfr_1perday
     enumerate the maps on the server at run time.  In the other ypxfr scripts
     only transfer maps that are present (closes: #155797, #233092).
   * Add bug script to optionally include the domain name in bug reports.
   * Support noopt in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
   * Updated to policy 3.6.1.

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Sun, 25 Apr 2004 19:00:45 +0100

nis (3.11-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Upgrade ypbind to version 1.17.2.
   * Upgrade ypserv to version 2.13.
   * Add libslp-dev to build deps and enable SLP support in configure.
   * Fix parsing of server names returned from SLP in ypbind.

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Sat, 17 Apr 2004 14:13:19 +0100

nis (3.10-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Include Danish translation of the Debconf templates provided by Claus
     Hindsgaul <claus_h@image.dk> (closes: #233576).

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Thu, 26 Feb 2004 23:57:47 +0000

nis (3.10-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Only display the note about requiring client configuration if we're
     configured as a client in /etc/default/nis (closes: #106963).
   * Remove /var/yp on purge (closes: #76423).
   * Include French Debconf template translation provided by Michel
     Grentzinger <mic.grentz@online.fr> (closes: #227140).
   * Include Japanese Debconf template translation provided by Hideki Yamane
     <henrich@samba.gr.jp> (closes: #229296).

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Sat, 24 Jan 2004 10:41:06 +0000

nis (3.10-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Depend on sysvinit rather than sysv-rc - that will pull in an appropriate
     startup script mechanism for us (closes: #224464).
   * Allow the user to specify additional arguments for the daemons in
     /etc/nis/default (closes: #143886).  Users can configure the default
     port for the services by specifying appropriate command line options
     to the daemons (closes: #147809).
   * Delete /etc/defaultdomain on purge (closes: #155122).
   * Update to policy 3.5.6.
   * Don't create the /usr/doc symlink any more.
   * Update copyright to refer to GPLv2 in /usr/share/common-licences.
   * Fix permissions on templates control file.
   * Delete /etc/default/nis on purge.
   * Purge debconf database when package is purged.
   * Include Section: and Priority: in the binary package.
   * Ship sample /etc/default/nis in /usr/share/nis rather than as an example
     as per policy.

 -- Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>  Fri, 2 Jan 2004 08:29:34 +0000

2003

nis (3.10-3) unstable; urgency=high

   * Fix initscript again. It had some /etc/network/if-{up,down}.d
     stuff in it that shouldn't be used yet. In earlier versions it
     wasn't used due to another bug that got fixed, and that
     triggered this bug (closes: #221569, #222074, #221569)
   * Convert to po-debconf (Mark Brown) (closes: #106150, #200126)
   * debian/rules fixes for non-linux (hurd, bsd) (closes: #223622)
   * Change /var/yp/securenets back to /etc/ypserv.securenets
   * Restore "mangle" functionality in ypserv (different syntax though)
     (closes: #212930)
   * Automatically convert old ypserv.conf file to new format (closes: #221497)
   * ypMakefile: set MERGE_GROUPS to false, don't build networks map.
   * Add Uploaders: field to the control file.

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>  Tue, 16 Dec 2003 00:20:05 +0100

nis (3.10-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Change typo in rc.nis script (closes: #145715, #143873)
   * Add a NISCLIENT setting to /etc/default/nis, which defaults to true
     (closes: #138723, #160930)
   * Fix typos in nis.debian.howto (closes: #130380, #139821, #143658)

nis (3.9-6) unstable; urgency=high

   * Official fix from upstream maintainer for "YPBIND_PROC: domain not bound"
     ypbind problem that includes a potential fix for bug #109935.

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>  Wed, 17 Oct 2001 17:06:06 +0200

   * Fix "YPBIND_PROC: domain not bound" recurring (15 mins.) problem.
     Courtesy of Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>. Hopefully
     this also fixes bug #109935.

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>  Tue, 9 Oct 2001 12:47:49 +0200

nis (3.9-4.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Non-maintainer upload.
   * copy in new config.{guess,sub} to get support for new architectures.
     Closes: #104601

 -- LaMont Jones <lamont@smallone.fc.hp.com>  Fri, 13 Jul 2001 16:43:48 -0600

nis (3.9-4) unstable; urgency=high

   * Fix preinst not to depend on /usr/share/doc/examples/nis.default
     which ofcourse isn't there on a fresh installation.

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>  Thu, 28 Jun 2001 14:02:52 +0200

nis (3.9-3) unstable; urgency=high

   * Update docs about /etc/init.d/nis and /etc/default/nis (closes: #98886)
   * Updated nis.debian.howto
   * Fix the debconf stuff (closes: #99966, #97693)
   * Added german tranlations (closes: #100138)
   * Also include the preinst file in the package .. now /etc/default/nis
     actually works (closes: #63171, #77090)
   * Don't stop running NIS processes during upgrade, they tend to be
     essential for functioning of the system. Just restart NIS in the postinst.
   * Fix symbolic links (closes: #99411, #97846)
   * kill running ypbinds manually if upgrading from an older
     version of the NIS package (closes: #97599)
   * Put a comment about DNS in /etc/yp.conf (closes: #96066)
   * Don't export shadow entries < MINUID (closes: #69214, #90470, #28030)
   * Set MINUID to 1000 to comply with policy (closes: #38591, #58881)
   * Up timeout on connecting to ypxfrd from 25 microsecs to 2 secs.
     25 us is really way to short - ypxfr almost always failed connecting
     to ypxfrd.

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>  Tue, 26 Jun 2001 15:32:30 +0200

nis (3.9-2) unstable; urgency=high

   * Recompile _again_ for latest libc6 (backwards compatibility doesn't
     seem to exist anymore?) (closes: #97195)

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>  Mon, 14 May 2001 13:06:31 +0200

nis (3.9-1) unstable; urgency=high

   * Upgrade to yp-tools-2.5, ypbind-mt-1.8, ypserv-1.3.12
   * Some people need NIS built against the latest libc (closes: #96158, #96931)
   * Typo in postinst message (closes: #78185)
   * Make maintainer scripts failsafe (closes: #77347)
   * Apply threads/signals patch so that ypbind exits on SIGTERM (closes: #83106)
   * Now uses debconf
   * fixed ypserv_conf.c - IP numbers can start with [1-9] not [0-3]
   * Fix ypserv(8) manpage (securenets file location) (closes: #94136)
   * Update ypserv.securenets example file (closes: #86762)

2000

nis (3.8-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Upload to unstable, compiled with current woody libs
   * Fixes the Alpha problems (as 3.8-2 does for stable)
   * Depends on portmap again (closes: #75267,#75511,#76942,#72132,#75124)

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>  Tue, 14 Nov 2000 23:53:51 +0100

nis (3.8-2) stable; urgency=high

   * Upload to stable
   * This fixes the Alpha problems. This is of high urgency,
     because the old 3.7 packages still contain the security hole.
   * The Alpha problems were due to configure not reckognizing the
     system type on (certain!) Alpha's, so that the USE_BROADCAST=0
     code got compiled in which was broken. I debugged and fixed both
     problems. This might also fix brokenness on other non-i386
     platforms.
   * Updated HOWTO (closes: #76043)

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>  Mon, 13 Nov 2000 22:38:11 +0100

nis (3.8-0.1) stable unstable; urgency=high

   * Non-maintainer upload by security team
   * Up the versionnumber since we upgrade one of our tarballs
   * Upgrade ypbindt-mt to 1.7, which is a security-fix for 1.6. This
     really fixes the printf formating security problem.
   * Upload to both stable and unstable so potato doesn't have a newer
     version anymore and woody gets the fix as well.

 -- Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>  Fri, 13 Oct 2000 20:08:23 +0200

nis (3.7-2potato1) stable; urgency=high

   * Upload for potato to fix security hole in ypbind

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>  Mon, 9 Oct 2000 13:59:08 +0200

nis (3.7-2) unstable; urgency=high

   * Update to latest ypbind-mt-1.7 because of security hole
     (syslog format string attack)
   * Apply ypserv-1.3.11a.diff because upstream maintainer says
     it's important.

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>  Mon, 9 Oct 2000 13:45:10 +0200

nis (3.7-1) unstable; urgency=high

   * Update to latest ypserv (1.3.11)
   * Depend on portmap (closes: #72083,#72107,#72121)
   * Update yppasswd manpage (closes: #67208)
   * Well, ypbind most definitely works ;) (closes: #42903)
   * New ypMakefile since 3.6 (closes: #48465)
   * Wait for domain to get bound up to 10 secs (closes: #59799,#59892,#66574)
   * Update nis.debian.howto (closes: #60300,#60380)
   * Update netgroups manpage (closes:  #62492)

nis (3.6-2) unstable; urgency=high

   * Touch yp-tools-2.4/configure (closes: #48442)
   * Fix /var/yp/Makefile (closes: #48447)

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>  Wed, 27 Oct 1999 11:09:42 +0200

nis (3.6-1) unstable; urgency=high
