Please check whether installing the package with dpkg -force-confmiss -i /path/to/nis.deb fixes this problem for you. > In BOTH cases, after a server reboot, NIS doesn't come up correctly. Can you provide any more detail as to how it fails to come up correctly? You might use 'exec > /var/log/nis-debug.log 2>&1' as the first line of the pre-start script in /etc/init/ypbind.conf to capture any errors here. (And if there are no errors in that log, do the same thing for 'script' and 'post-start script', noting of course that each exec will clobber the previous ones.) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
