Why Solaris autofs mount attempts fail , when using Red Hat NIS server?
Issue
- When Solaris NIS client asks for non-existing map using yp_first/yp_next RPC calls, it gets 0 (YP_FALSE) instead of -1 (YP_NOMAP) in the YP respond from server, which causes problems on Solaris/Linux deployments.
Environment
