I just timed this at 2.5 minutes!! That's too long! The is that it's doing excessive NIS lookups. When I stop ypbind, it starts up just fine. But if ypbind is running, strace shows a massive number of NIS lookups. It's doing yp lookups for every user in the passwd map. It's taking so long because my NIS domain has over 45000 users. I know it's not an NIS performance issue because every other test performs perfectly.
