I'm running into what is probably a related problem (though I don't run
NIS).  At boot time, I'm getting the message:

portmap: server localhost not responding, timed out

Lots of stuff doesn't work after that, obviously.

Did you try restarting NIS on the local machine? The libc6 upgrade could
affect this.

The BTS is all encompasing. IOW, it does not discern bug reports based on
the version of Debian you are running.

ypbind failure

2000-10-12 Thread marbud
Hi!

I ran into some nasty problem this morning.. I did a "apt-get
dist-upgrade" on my woody installation. Now ypbind is unable to talk
to our NIS server. 

I know i should blame myself for running woody on a machine i need to
work with, so thats not the issue.. But where do i get information
about bugs in woody? The bug database seems to only address the stable
distro.

Best regardsMartin
