Fwd: (RADIATOR) AuthBy NISPlus

[Fred Albrecht]

Nevermind, found it.

Editing NISPlus.xs (NISPlus source code) and redefining MASTER_ONLY to be 0 fixed the problem.

#include <rpcsvc/nis.h>

#ifdef MASTER_ONLY
#undef MASTER_ONLY
#endif

#define MASTER_ONLY 0                      /* <<<<----------  */

thanx

:)

HI Hugh

I find no reference to MASTER_ONLY in my Net::NISPlus code.  What version of the NISPlus module are you refering to?

PS looking at the Net::NISPlus code, I see that nis_lookup etc use the flag
MASTER_ONLY:

     MASTER_ONLY
           When specified, the client  library  will  bypass  any
           object   caches  and any domain replicas and fetch the
           object from the  NIS+ master server for  the  object's
           domain. This insures that the object returned is up to
           date at the cost of a possible performance degradation
           and  failure  if  the  master server is unavailable or
           physically distant.

Looks like  a change in the NISPlus library would be required to go further?
