Subject: [suse-security] OT: Bugfix for Samba with NIS netgroups -- how to submit?
From: Robert Casties (robert.castiesphilo.unibe.ch)

Hello!

Sorry for being off-topic. I wandered around SuSEs website but I couldn't
find any place to submit bugfixes for their packages. Can anyone from SuSE
tell me how this is supposed to be done?

The problem: SuSE 6.4's samba 2.0.6-62 doesn't accept NIS netgroups (I
don't know if any version before did that). More specifically the NIS test
part of configure fails because it isn't linked with -lnsl.

The fix: configure has to be called as "LIBS=-lnsl ./configure". Fixing
the spec file is easy. (A fix to the configure script would be nicer but
more work)

I found the fix in a mail from Johannes Martin on linux.debian.bugs.dist
(October 99)

Cheers
        Robert
