Hello, i tried the "nis homedir" and "homedir map" parameters, as I have several NFS hoemdir servers, and I want to avoid the additional network hop. But %n got always set to the name of the logon Server. Some code investigation showed up, that the necessary code will be compiled in only if also HAVE_NETGROUP is defined. This is never done. Probably this is missing from configure. There is also other code aroung which is dependent on this Preprocessor define. This bug is present in 2.0.7pre3 as well as older releases, at least back to 2.0.5a. Compilation with -DHAVE_NETGROUP seems to get it working. At least %N now will be set to the correct value, but only if a map entry for the user is available. Users which are not listed in the map will get a empty %N! Also %p does not work even with -DHAVE_NETGROUP, but I see no demand for %p.
