It would be helpful if you could describe in more detail what problems
you were seeing: what steps did you take when trying to install the
package and what output was produced?
Right. Sorry for not giving more details.
What I did was:
- installed NIS
- echo domain > /etc/defaultdomainname
- edited /etc/yp.conf and included "ypserver theip"
- /etc/init.d/nis restart
This is what we are doing on all machines here. On i386 it's working,
on AMD64 with amd64 Kernel and i386 system it's working, but on this
pure amd64 system it's not.
With version 3.17-2:
========
mudar:~# /etc/init.d/nis start
Starting NIS services: ypbindbinding to YP
server...........................................failed
(backgrounded).
.
mudar:~# ypset warner
can't yp_bind: Reason: Can't communicate with ypbind
But it's running:
mudar:~# ps aux | grep ypbind
root 5120 0.0 0.0 39264 1288 ? Sl 21:31 0:00
/usr/sbin/ypbind
mudar:~# ypcat -k passwd
No such map passwd.byname. Reason: Can't bind to server which serves this domain
========
Now, just doing a "dpkg -i nis_3.13-2_amd64.deb", without changing anything:
========
mudar:~# /etc/init.d/nis start
Starting NIS services: ypbind
mudar:~# ypset warner
mudar:~# ypset -k passwd
And then it displays all the users from the NIS server

Please stop NIS, run
ypbind -d -broadcast
and send the output to the bug address.
========
mudar:~# LC_ALL=C ypbind -d -broadcast

(and it doesn't show anything more, just stays on this last line)
With version 3.13-2:
========

Thank you!
