I confirmed this bug on 4 systems. Here is the output from /var/log/upstart/ypbind.log:
Setting NIS domainname to: sunrize 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. Binding to YP server .....backgrounded During boot it thinks there is no nis server in yp.conf. If i put a sleep statement at the bottom of the /etc/init/ypbind.conf pre-start script section, its seems to work. I have to crank the sleep to 10 seconds to get it to work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993259 Title: ypbind does not start on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nis/+bug/993259/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
