OpenSUSE Leap 15.1 Firewall and NIS

Hello,
I am trying to configure NIS with static ports to use it with firewalld on a server under openSUSE Leap 15.1 (with the latest updates as of today, 2020.04.23). So, I followed the instructions given in https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/security/html/book.security/cha-security-firewall.html#sec-security-firewall-firewalld, “17.4.2 Accessing Services Listening on Dynamic Ports”, and set the variables as follows:

/etc/sysconfig/ypbind YPBIND_OPTIONS -p 24500

[TR=“class: contains-rowspan”]
[TD] /etc/sysconfig/ypserv[/TD]
[TD] YPXFRD_ARGS[/TD]
[TD] -p 24501[/TD]
[/TR]| YPSERV_ARGS| -p 24502|
| YPPASSWDD_ARGS | --port 24503|

YPSERV_ARGS and YPPASSWDD_ARGS were not present in ypserv, so I had to add them manually.
After restarting the server, I used rpcinfo -p to see the ports. Unfortunately, it only works for ypbind (port 24500 -> OK), but neither for ypserv (port 701 -> not OK) nor for yppasswdd (port 720 -> not OK). It seems that the settings of the YPSERV_ARGS and YPPASSWDD_ARGS variables are ignored.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

They are most certainly present in ypserv sysconfig template. Paste full actual content of your /etc/sysconfig/ypserv.

This is /etc/sysconfig/ypserv after my modification:
[HR][/HR]## Path: Network/NIS/NIS server

Description:

Type: string(/etc)

Default: /etc

ServiceRestart: ypserv yppasswdd

YP Source directory for passwd, shadow and group. You could

give here an different directory as /etc where YP will search

the source files for the passwd and group tables.

YPPWD_SRCDIR="/etc"

Type: yesno

Default: no

ServiceRestart: yppasswdd

Should the user be allowed to change his GECOS field

with ypchfn ?

YPPWD_CHFN=“no”

Type: yesno

Default: no

ServiceRestart: yppasswdd

Should the user be allowed to change his default login shell

with ypchsh ?

YPPWD_CHSH=“no”

Path: Network/NIS/NIS server

Description:

Type: string

Default: “”

ServiceRestart: ypxfrd

Additonal arguments for rpc.ypxfrd. See manual page

for possible options.

YPXFRD_ARGS="-p 24501"

Manually added by ragger65, 2020.04.23

YPSERV_ARGS="-p 24502"

Manually added by ragger65, 2020.04.23

YPPASSWDD_ARGS="–port 24503"
[HR][/HR]In the original template, YPXFRD_ARGS was set to “”, and YPSERV_ARGS and YPPASSWDD_ARGS were not present at all.

And what “systemctl status ypserv.service” says?

This gives the following:

ragger@wwwice:~> sudo systemctl status ypserv.service

Can you show “systemctl cat ypserv.service”? Did you restart service after editing /etc/sysconfig/ypserv?

Yes, I even rebooted the server.

ragger@wwwice:~>

What ypserv version do you have? “rpm -q ypserv”?

ragger@wwwice:~> rpm -q ypserv
ypserv-4.0-6.1.x86_64
ragger@wwwice:~>

This is Leap 42.3 package (assuming it is openSUSE package). Do you have Leap 15.1 at all?

Yes, but I upgraded the system from openSUSE Leap 42.3 via Leap 15.0 to Leap 15.1.

Then the next question is of course: How?
And what are your repos now:

zypper lr -d

I did the upgrade by using the upgrade function on the DVDs (which I burnt from the ISO images provided on the openSUSE web site).
The repos seem to be all up-to-date as far as I can see:

Yes, they seem to be correct. But yoou could Disable the first one, it is de DVD and it is not needed anymore. And as it is now you might be asked to load it every time you do some software management.

Nevertheless, because you still seem to have some old version package, it might help to do a

zypper dup --from repo-oss

and see if it still upgrades packages.

I updated ypserv with the YaST Software Management tool. It is now at ypserv-4.0-lp151.5.3.x86_64 (before it was ypserv-4.0-6.1.x86_64). yast2-nis-server (yast2-nis-server-4.1.1-lp151.1.1.noarch) and ypbind (ypbind-2.6-lp151.1.1.x86_64) are both up-to-date. After this update, I rebooted the server.

The variables are set as follows:
/etc/sysconfig/ypbind:YPBIND_OPTIONS="-p 24500"

/etc/sysconfig/ypserv:YPXFRD_ARGS="-p 24501"
YPSERV_ARGS="-p 24502"
YPPASSWDD_ARGS="–port 24503"

I opened these ports in the firewall by

firewall-rpc-helper.py -p yp-server --create-firewalld-service yp-server-static
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=yp-server-static --zone=public
firewall-rpc-helper.py -p yp-client --create-firewalld-service yp-client-static
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=yp-client-static --zone=public

However, I still cannot get NIS through the firewall. If I deactivate the firewall, it works. Do I have to do anything on the clients (all running under Leap 15.1) as well?

Sorry, I am not sure here.
Did you do the

zypper dup --from repo-oss

and is the above what was installed as a result? And were that the only packages upgraded with the command?

Or didn’t you use that command. Then please explain why.

Sorry, I didn’t dare doing the zypper dup --from repo-oss because it wants to make huge changes:

That’s why I only updated ypserv (via YaST) for the time being. Is it better to do it to have a clean system?

Thanks - ragger65

Pffff. This does not seem to be a straight 15.1 system. If so many packages are going to be downgraded, to which openSUSE vesrion do they belong now?

Can we have a look at what they are now. E.g. what is the version of aaa-base on your system. In my 15.1 it is

boven:~ # rpm -q aaa_base
aaa_base-84.87+git20180409.04c9dae-lp151.5.24.1.x86_64
boven:~ #

and I also see apcahe2 in that list

boven:~ # rpm -q apache2
apache2-2.4.33-lp151.8.9.1.x86_64
boven:~ #

I think we have to solve this first before anybody can say anything useful about a problem occuring in it.

Yes, I was also surprised… But I don’t think I did anything strange. The system was originally Leap 42.3, I upgraded it via 15.0 to 15.1 (using the DVDs) and did all the updates since then.

For the versions of aaa-base and apache2, I get the same as you:

ragger@wwwice:~> rpm -q aaa_base
aaa_base-84.87+git20180409.04c9dae-lp151.5.24.1.x86_64
ragger@wwwice:~> rpm -q apache2
apache2-2.4.33-lp151.8.9.1.x86_64
ragger@wwwice:~>

Hm, I probably make a mistake here. When we dup from the Main OSS repo, we get the versions as they were on version release. Thos we have now are from the Update repo. The problem is now how to be sure that there are no more left-overs as you had.

The solution is of course, first the

zypper dup --from repo-oss

en then

zypper up to get all the newest versions.

.

But hat would take some time and it would also switch the Kernel back and forward. Maybe not, the kernel is not in your list of what to downgrade.

Let us wait a bit if others have advice.
