You yould be able to backport it to 1.2.1, but you will need to recompile your libc. For that you need (I think, I didn't try): src/include/rpcsvc/yp_prot.h src/include/rpcsvc/ypclnt.h src/lib/libc/yp src/lib/libc/yp/* src/lib/librpcsvc/yp.x src/lib/librpcsvc/yppasswd.x src/usr.bin/passwd src/usr.bin/ypcat src/usr.bin/ypmatch src/usr.bin/ypwhich src/usr.sbin/rpc.yppasswdd src/usr.sbin/ypbind src/usr.sbin/yppoll src/usr.sbin/ypserv src/usr.sbin/ypset NetBSD-current is available from ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current and various mirrors. -- Manuel Bouyer, MASI, Universite Paris VI. email: bouyer@masi.ibp.fr bouyer@ensta.fr --
