demonstrator for bug
This program can be used to show the libc bugs.
Configure "passwd: compat" in nsswitch.conf, configure your NIS domain, be sure
to run the ypbind daemon, then killall nscd ypserv and see:
$ domainname
example
$ killall ypserv nscd
$ ./try nonexist
YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound
YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound
got (nil), errno = 0 (Success)
So we can nicely see who *really* has to fix their software - certainly not the
reporter...
