Though it doesn't cause problem for me, I have an unanswered question about setting of this packages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- yasu@rolling-vm-debian1[1030]% cat /lib/systemd/system/ypbind.service [Unit] Description=NIS Binding Service Requires=rpcbind.service Wants=network-online.target After=network-online.target rpcbind.service Before=systemd-user-sessions.service Before=nss-user-lookup.target [Service] Type=forking PIDFile=/run/ypbind.pid Environment=YPBINDARGS= EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/nis ExecStartPre=/bin/domainname -F /etc/defaultdomain ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ypbind $YPBINDARGS [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target yasu@rolling-vm-debian1[1030]% ---------------------------------------------------------------------- According to the unit file of ypbind.service, the value of YPBINDARGS environment variable is passed as arguments when systemd starts ypbind process. Then how does user set it if he wants to start ypbind with arguments? As far as I see the unit file this package doesn't seem to provide the way to set it. I'm not familiar with systemd but does systemd itself provide such functionality?
