hello, this morning, we rebooted our nis master server and sshd died on most of our client servers. our setup is this: nis master netapp with /usr/local volume shared out. sshd sits in /usr/local/sbin on the netapp many nis/nfs clients, each nfs mount /usr/local from the netapp and run sshd from there. we completed a planned reboot of the nis master this morning, and the parent sshd died, leaving a core file in /. they're running 2.5.2p2. i have a couple core files if anyone would like to look at them. is there anything i can do to prevent this in the future? it would be a pain to install ssh locally on each server. -jon -- Jon Nathan jon at rupture.net http://www.rupture.net/~jon/
