Package: portmap Version: 5-21 Severity: normal Could you please move portmap earler in the startup sequence so that NIS could start earlier? As far as I can see portmap shouldn't depend on other services so this should be safe.
There are long standing problems with the ordering of NIS vs. autofs: autofs should start before S20 so other things running at S20 can access automounted directories but autofs is traditionally used in conjunction with NIS which runs at S19 (and can't run earlier due to needing portmap which runs at S18). During the Etch development process autofs was changed to start at S19 but this now breaks use with NIS maps. Filed with severity normal rather than wishlist since this will allow resolution of problems in other packages. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-1-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages portmap depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.9 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-11 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii lsb-base 3.1-22 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip portmap recommends no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
