11.10 keeps freezing randomly with NIS enabled if the interface is not in /etc/network/interfaces as "auto" - I presume network-manager enables it just for the user session and times it out when no user is logged in? It works for a short period of time after reboot and if users keep logging in, but freezes up after any significant idle period.
I had troubles even shutting the system down until I moved eth0 control to /etc/network/interfaces. This should be part of package configuration script (as well as adding NIS to /etc/nsswitch.conf), I suppose. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to nis in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/372426 Title: NIS not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nis/+bug/372426/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
