I think I have run into this problem in the past but in a different |
| 2 |
way. I found some upgrade processes would fail and a strace pointed |
| 3 |
to libnss_nis.o. To work around it I would temporally remove the nis |
| 4 |
entry from my/etc/nsswitch.conf file. |

|

My problems have cleared up over the past year. I attributed them to |
| 7 |
bugs in libnss_nis. |

I have not run into your specific problem. I seldom reference UID's |
| 10 |
that are not in my NIS system or in the local /etc/password file. |

Good luck, |
