#50430 is titled "NIS has problems starting before the network comes up" which is not the case here. The machine is up & running, network is working fine, but "apt-get install nis" is still showing this behaviour:
------------------------------- Selecting previously deselected package nis. Unpacking nis (from .../nis_3.17-12ubuntu1_i386.deb) ... Setting up libslp1 (1.2.1-7.1) ... Setting up nis (3.17-12ubuntu1) ... * Setting NIS domainname to: int.domain.org * Starting NIS services * binding to YP server... * .... [...] * .... ...fail! ...done. # netstat -anptu | grep yp tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:760 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5247/ypbind udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:49725 0.0.0.0:* 5247/ypbind udp 9240 0 0.0.0.0:759 0.0.0.0:* 5247/ypbind ------------------------------- FWIW, debconf is configured to "low" priority, so it should've asked for missing values to start properly, e.g. let the installer choose between a client and/or server installation of NIS. It obviously cannot "bind to YP server" when no one has been configured yet. ** Changed in: nis (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- nis fails to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/415676 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
