Resetting the NIS start number to 60 means that boots are quick on
Jaunty. Not sure if the binding problem is still there though -- GDM
starts and wipes the display.

I'm still on intrepid (I never upgrade a working machine after a couple
of weeks after release)... anyway, I'll try Alain solution in my machine

I just upgraded to Jaunty and the huge delays getting through the NIS
connection attempts are back. I notice that NetworkManager is now
numbered 50 in the startup sequence whilst NIS is 29. I shall
experiment with setting NIS to 60.

NIS fails to bind to YP server during boot

Well... in fact, I don't think this is quite so...
The problem is how much time does ypbind take to actually start up and
bind to the nis server...
My guess is that if this is run on the server itself it should be
somehow quick and otherwise, it will depend on network condition and nis
server res
I just noticed that actually the timeouts still happen but they happen
very much more quickly. So this shift in start number doesn't actually
solve the timeouts problem but because of the different state of the
network adapter it doesn't give the delays and so the user gets a much
faster boot up.
OK... but GDM start number is 30 (and g < n), so I think that 29 is a
better number than 30 (and is prime also) :-)

so it starts after NetworkManager, but before gdm"
