Package: nis
Version: 3.13-2
Severity: normal
I have had problems with ypserv binding to port 636 a couple of times.
This port is also used by slapd. Since slapd is startes after nis, this
causes slapd to be unable to bind and thus fail.
Obviously one work around the problem by specifying a port for ypserv to bind
to. But this does not make the default setup work. Perhaps nis should
started after slapd?

glibc version 2.6.1-1 introduces support for a blacklist file called
/etc/bindresvport.blacklist which allows the administrator to stop ports
being returned to applications binding to INADDR_ANY. From the glibc
changelog:
* debian/local/etc/bindresvport.blacklist: new default configuration
file.
This isn't ideal in that it won't easily work out of the box but further
improvement should probably be done via glibc.
