I had the same problem since upgrading to Gutsy. The problem seems to be that the dhcdbd (some DHCP daemon) is started after NIS and autofs, so the interface has no chance to come up before init attempts to start NIS. One solution seems to be to start dhcdbd earlier, i.e. rename S24dhcdbd to S13dhcdbd in /etc/rc2.d. It seems to work for me.
Another solution may be to uncomment the "iface ethX inet dhcp" (or similar) line in /etc/network/interfaces, but I have not tried that one. -- 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
