Well, it is not like I use NIS at home all by myself :p if Ubuntu wont support it, just remove it from distribution then. So it would make the decision of which distro to use in large organisations easier.
I checked the packets using tcpdump limited to the NIS server. Ubuntu had 24k lines in the output file Fedora had 2.4k lines in the output file Fedora was accessing port 767 and accessed an additional UDP port 770 and sometimes 938 on the server... while Ubuntu was just accessing 767 only so many more times... I tried disabling iptables on ubuntu altogether and still the results are same. It is just that I am getting the correct info as well and finger seems to be working. I am not sure what might be timing out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1036622 Title: Slow NIS performance with programs such as 'finger' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nis/+bug/1036622/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
