I am seeing this issue on a fresh Hardy amd64 install. ypbind is actually failing to register with portmap, even though portmap started significantly earlier (nis startup is S18 in rc2, while portmap seems to be starting as S43 in rcS; curiously, portmap is also listed as S17 in rc2, but that's not what actually starts it). Other things started a little later (NFS) do register with portmap.
However, if I add nis to rcS after portmap (S46), it works. It seems like something in-between is causing a temporary disruption (could be NetworkManager, although I have a static IP configured in /etc/network/interfaces). -- 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 subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
