Synopsis
ypbind bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Lightspeed patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated ypbind package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.
Description
The ypbind package provides an NIS (Network Information Services) daemon which
binds NIS clients to an NIS domain.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, NIS clients searched for the fastest server in an
interval of one minute. Due to this behavior, heavy traffic and response delays
could occur. With this update, clients search for the fastest server every 15
minutes. Now, the traffic is more controlled and response delays no longer
occur. (BZ#594670)
All users of ypbind are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
