Package: yp-tools (4.2.3-21.fc43)

NIS (or YP) client programs

The Network Information Service (NIS) is a system which provides network information (login names, passwords, home directories, groupinformation) to all of the machines on a network. NIS can enable information) to all of the machines on a network. NIS can enable users to login on any machine on the network, as long as the machine has the NIS client programs running and the user's password is recorded in the NIS passwd database. NIS was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP). This package's NIS implementation is based on FreeBSD's YP and is a special port for glibc 2.x and libc versions 5.4.21 and later. This package only provides the NIS client programs. In order to use the clients, you'll need to already have an NIS server running on your network. An NIS server is provided in the ypserv package. Install the yp-tools package if you need NIS client programs for machines on your network. You will also need to install the ypbind package on every machine running NIS client programs. If you need an NIS server, you'll need to install the ypserv package on one machine on the network.

Versions, suites, and repositories

Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.

Checksums and observation dates

For an APT source, signature verification authenticates the repository metadata chain and the Packages index containing this source-reported artifact digest. It does not certify package safety.

4.2.3-21.fc43 / aarch64Observed Sep 1, 2026 to Sep 1, 2026

Verification status: Metadata observed; artifact bytes were not independently fetched or hashed by this catalog import. The digest below is source-reported.

Source-reported sha256: 74dd4ef7a95dd2daa4807160021a9ac3157a83813b57d5e509869b53d08fa3f5

After downloading that exact artifact, compare its bytes with the source-reported expected digest:

printf '%s  %s\n' '74dd4ef7a95dd2daa4807160021a9ac3157a83813b57d5e509869b53d08fa3f5' 'yp-tools-4.2.3-21.fc43.aarch64.rpm' | sha256sum --check --strict -

A match establishes equality with the repository metadata value. It does not establish safety or catalog-side artifact retrieval.
