This is a backwards incompatibilty, the struct has grown since 5.005_03. Since struct initializers fill all unmentioned elements with zeroes anyway, removing the trailing NULLs makes NIS.xs backwards compatible. --- NIS.xs.orig Wed Mar 19 14:55:20 2003 +++ NIS.xs Mon Dec 20 11:26:42 2004 @@ -243,7 +243,7 @@ } MGVTBL yp_status_accessors = { - yp_status_get, yp_status_set, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL + yp_status_get, yp_status_set, }; HTH, Lupe Christoph

Thanks, that helps. Patch applied and mildly tested. Need to wrap up a few more things, and will hope to release before end of year.
