alex, this is somewhat surprising to hear, as up until 12.04, NIS was
actually quite broken on bootup for most users due to many race
conditions in the way it started up. In 12.04, the startup was moved to
being managed by upstart jobs, and this fixed the problem for many users
(in fact we have updates pending for 10.04 to fix this for those users).

Could you perhaps create a tarball of /etc/init from a machine that is
affected, and attach it to this bug report? Try:

tar -cz -f init.tar.gz -C /etc init

Thanks!

Also if you can run this command on an affected machine, it will help us
verify the versions of software you have:
