[Bug 999725] Re: broken start-up dependencies for ntp (starts before NIS is available)

2016-04-29 Thread ChristianEhrhardt
I know it's a long time, but I'm cleaning up old NTP bugs atm. We haven't had any similar reports since then and popularity of nis declined since then. Also even basic time is - without further conf - handled by systemd now which has totally different dependencies for all of this. Finally this

I'm currently troubleshooting a problem with a Lubuntu Quantal setup with LTSP (terminal server network). Most of the clients stop responding at a blank/black screen during bootup. But only after successfully PXE network booting, getting DHCP assignments, and beginning the process of booting

No, nis is not on hosts line of nsswitch.conf. I agree that my case is not the same as the one reported. But since the problem here is reported to be one in which ntp is being started before the system is capable of resolving DNS, I couldn't help but notice the similarity to my previous problem

It is probably true that this has not been seen much as a bug due to DNS normally being available, hence NIS dependency (if present) being a secondary issue. However, we found that ntp did not recover by itself, so possibly it only tries to find the nameservers once, but will re-try for the time
