got a really ugly fix that make nis finally working... at this to your /etc/rc.local :
while [ ! "`/bin/pidof ypbind`" ] do /etc/init.d/nis restart sleep 2 done exit 0 that should do it! -- NIS has problems starting before the network comes up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50430 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to nis in ubuntu. -- 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
