Could you please edit /etc/init.d/nis to record the output of nm-tool after attempting to start ypbind? This should say what Network Manager thinks is happening which ought to show if it's a problem there or not.
After this block: if want_ypbind then log_progress_msg "ypbind" start-stop-daemon -b --start --quiet \ --exec ${NET}/ypbind -- $broadcast ${YPBINDARGS} bind_wait fi add something like /usr/sbin/nm-tool > /tmp/nm-tool-output which will create a file /tmp/nm-tool-output with information about what Network Manager thinks is happening. Please attach that file to the report once it's generated. Please do this for both when the system is starting up and when re-running the script later. Thanks. -- nis daemon fails to attach to domain the first time it is run in Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152794 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
