I have an entry in root's crontab:
#ls -1 /etc/RCS|sed "s~(.*),v~\1~"|while read file; do ls -la /etc/$file|ci -q -l /etc/$file ;done
Error output I received: do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = No route to host YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = No route to host YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = No route to host YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = No route to host YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound
This looks like NIS (DNS?) error output, but what could be invoking anything that uses NIS or DNS in that command? ls, ci, and while don't need it unless they are applied to some NFS mounted file, but this is executed as root with a *local* home directory on *local* files, no need for YP. The only hypotheses I can think of are "my copies of bash or ci have been compromised" or "I am stupid".
Enlighten me, please. Dave
