I have exactly the same problem on upgrading to version 3.17-27, with this output: ===== $ sudo /etc/init.d/nis restart Stopping NIS services: ypbind ypserv ypppasswdd ypxfrd. Starting NIS services: ypserv yppasswdd ypxfrd ypbindbinding to YP server...........................................failed (backgrounded). . ===== > If 'ypbind' is started manually, > > # /usr/sbin/ypbind -f /etc/defaultdomain > > The follwoing error is reported.. > > io:~# /usr/sbin/ypbind -f /etc/defaultdomain > No NIS server and no -broadcast option specified. > Add a NIS server to the /etc/defaultdomain configuration file, > or start ypbind with the -broadcast option. ===== $ sudo kill $(cat /var/run/ypbind.pid) # the restart left a process that will retry indefinitely $ ps -ef | grep '[y]p' root 16875 1 0 12:45 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/ypserv root 16878 1 0 12:45 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.yppasswdd -D /etc -e chsh -e chfn root 16881 1 0 12:45 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.ypxfrd $ grep -v '^\(#.*\|\)$' /etc/yp.conf # don't show comment or empty lines $ sudo /usr/sbin/ypbind -f /etc/yp.conf No NIS server and no -broadcast option specified. Add a NIS server to the /etc/yp.conf configuration file, or start ypbind with the -broadcast option. ===== > BUT > If this option is put in, then ypbind starts properly > and then (surprisingly) NIS works again as expected. Restarting manually with the ‘-broadcast’ option doesn't help: ===== $ ps -ef | grep '[y]p' root 16875 1 0 12:45 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/ypserv root 16878 1 0 12:45 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.yppasswdd -D /etc -e chsh -e chfn root 16881 1 0 12:45 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.ypxfrd $ sudo /usr/sbin/ypbind -broadcast $ ps -ef | grep '[y]p' root 16875 1 0 12:45 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/ypserv root 16878 1 0 12:45 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.yppasswdd -D /etc -e chsh -e chfn root 16881 1 0 12:45 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.ypxfrd root 17268 1 0 12:55 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/ypbind -broadcast $ ypcat group No such map group.byname. Reason: Can't bind to server which serves this domain ===== Since the automated service restart interface breaks, this also breaks during postinst, so I'm sending this comment to Bug#118023 also. -- \ “I must say that I find television very educational.
