[Webmin-maintainers] Bug#301553: webmin-nis: fails to update NISSERVER variable in /etc/defaults/nis on Debian Sarge

[Sergio Bello]

Package: webmin-nis
Version: 1.180-1
Severity: normal


Enabling ypserv by setting 'Enable NIS server?' in edit_server.cgi and
pushing 'apply' does
not update variable NISSERVER in /etc/defaults/nis, so I had to manually
edit that file to start NIS server.

I have not checked the same thing with slave configuration.

It's a really minor bug, but it's daunting if one can't access via ssh
the server he's configuring ;)
