It is unlikely that the hosts issue will be fixed (it applies to more than just NFS): use of NIS for host name resolution is fairly strongly deprecated and I would expect that users with such a configuration will not find reordering the init scripts as local configuration a significant obstacle. Such configurations already require manual editing of /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Using netgroups for access control is more likely to be fixed but it seems more like something that should be addressed in NFS (in a similar way to that in which network filesystems are managed in /etc/fstab, for example) rather than or as well as in NIS. It might be worth opening a separate bug for that? -- NIS boot after mount NFS. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/26717 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
