Package: nis
Version: 3.11-3
Severity: normal
When NIS starts up it allocates UDP and TCP port numbers. Sometimes it
uses port 631 (either UDP or TCP) which then prevents CUPS from starting
up.
My simple workaround is to change their relative priorities so that
CUPS starts before NIS, but I suspect this is just masking a fundamental
problem in the way the port numbers are being selected. Whether the
mistake is in NIS, CUPS or somewhere else I just don't know.

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.
