Applications needing features missing from TIRPC should consider the rpcsvc-proto project developed by Thorsten Kukuk (SUSE). +* The NIS(+) name service modules, libnss_nis, libnss_nisplus, and + libnss_compat, are deprecated, and will not be built or installed by + default. Replacement implementations based on TIRPC, which + additionally support IPv6, are available from + <https://github.com/thkukuk/libnss_{compat,nis,nisplus}>. + +* The NIS(+) support library, libnsl, is deprecated. By default, a + compatibility shared library will be built and installed, but not + headers or development libraries. + + Only a few NIS-related programs require this library. + A replacement implementation based on TIRPC is available from + <https://github.com/thkukuk/libnsl>. Like the replacement NIS(+) + name service modules, the replacement supports IPv6, and it can be + coinstalled with the compatibility shared library from glibc. + +* New configure option --enable-obsolete-nsl will cause libnsl's + headers, and the NIS(+) name service modules, to be built and + installed. This option may be removed in a future release. + Security related changes: [Add security related changes here] |
