Hopefully this works. I'm attaching a working nis.conf and nis- wait.conf based on the comments so far. Put the files in /etc/init and that should be all that's necessary for most configurations. You shouldn't even need to remove the /etc/rc?.d nis links since it should just determine it's already started and exit.
The start line I used in nis.conf is based on the ypbind.conf file that Paul Elliott wrote, but the rest of the script is from Clint Byrum's suggestion. I also modified the nis-wait.conf to include cron and atd. No, this isn't a perfect answer, but it works for me. I don't know if it's a complete enough suggestion to cover Maciej Puzio's case but it might be. ** Attachment added: "NIS upstart job" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nis/+bug/569757/+attachment/2070218/+files/nis.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569757 Title: NIS upstart dependancy broken for lucid -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
