> Since ypbind is able to discover servers automatically
What needs to be set up to make that work ?
Getting that configured (presumably on the local network) would indeed
make this a non-problem, at least for me. Describing these details in
the package's README.Debian might help, too ... I'm unable to get a
clue from man ypbind, and /usr/share/doc/nis/nis.debian.howto.gz only
tells me how to set up each host, not what network (DHCP?) config will
ensure that ypbind can discover the right server without me having to
hand-edit yp.conf and restart nis after it's failed to start on
install; or is this just some detail of the NIS server config,
e.g. making it listen for broadcast ?
