It seems that after 2.5 years, we are no nearer having NIS work properly during boot. Intrepid tries 11 times to start NIS and fails -- this takes up a long time, trippling or quadrupling boot times.
Once booted NIS appears to be working fine. Assuming you are on a laptop and not a workstation, Network Manager fails to run dhclient on my workstation, I have to do this manually after boot. NIS starts fine straight away. I thought the whole point of Network Manager was to remove problems with networks not create them :-( -- NIS has problems starting before the network comes up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50430 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
