Ok. As some people reported sucess with the bsdi version (thanks to those
who anserwed) I looked deeper at the 8 Mb ktrace file.
I discovered that it does a 'geteuid' and tries to find back the login from
that so it opens /etc/pwd.db, but as the user is in the yp it doesn't find it
and print this usefull message "out of memory". If I add this user to the
passwd file it runs fine. (It need the user to fill in the "Sender:" field :(
Now I need to find how to work around this. I really need YP.
I'm going to try the FreeBSD version, and see if it's compatible with our
yp implementation.
