System: NetBSD yeah-baby.shagadelic.org 1.5C NetBSD 1.5C (YEAH-BABY) #61: Sat Jul 22 17:58:30 PDT 2000 thorpej@yeah-baby:/u1/netbsd/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/YEAH-BABY alpha


>Description:
	When a user/group is added/modified, etc., the YP information
	is not automatically updated.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Add a user on the YP master using the user(8) utilities.  On a
	YP client, notice that the user doesn't exist.  On the YP master,
	"cd /var/yp; make", and notice that the user now exists on the
	YP client.

>Fix:
	There are a couple of ways this can be addressed.  The traditional
	SunOS way was to have a cron job that just did a yppush using
	the Makefile every hour.  Another way would be for the user(8)
	tools to check to see if it's being run on the YP master and to
	force a push.  The former is probably better, for the case where
	a single machine is the master for multiple YP domains.
