Issue/Introduction

Linux / CentOS 8.5. RHEL8.5  and later does not have native libnsl.so.1 support.
This library is required by smarts and domain logs have errors stating that it can find libnsl.so.1.

Environment

Smarts 10.1.X

Resolution

  1. Verify that libnsl.so.1 is not present on the system
    locate libnsl.so.1
    This legacy library is supplied by
    libnsl.x86_64 : Legacy support library for NIS (libnsl2-1.2.0-2.20180605git4a062cf.el8.x86_64)

  2. Install the following package
    yum install libnsl.x86_64
  3. Restart smarts and verify that the logs are clean
