** Description changed: + [Impact] + On a system which uses both NIS and NFS, a boot-time NFS mount can trigger portmap to be started before the local filesystem is mounted, resulting in ypbind also starting prematurely. The portmap job needs to set an environment variable so ypbind knows not to start yet. + + [Test Case] + 1. Configure a system with NFS mounts that are mounted at boot time and which is configured to use a NIS domain. + 2. Boot the system with the rpcbind package in precise-updates. Verify that ypbind does not start up correctly. + 3. Upgrade to rpcbind from precise-proposed. + 4. Reboot the system and verify that ypbind consistently starts up correctly. + + [Regression Potential] + None that I can see. The only change is to export a variable to the upstart event which was always supposed to be there. In theory this could cause some jobs to now start *later* than expected, but I'm only aware of NFS and NIS jobs that are affected by portmap. + I am managing about 20 Ubuntu Computers since release 5.04 and have the strong feeling, that problems are increasing rapidly from one distribution upgrade to anoter. Non of my LTS version upgrades works out of the box today. The main problems I have, is to upgrade or install the nis package. I cannot login anymore after the upgrade to 12.04 (neither from last LTS-Version, nor from Version 11.10). After a complete uninstallation of the nis and the network-manager package nis works more or less, but I have to restart it manually after every reboot. I tried also a complete new installation, but nis also doesn't work there. After I installed NIS pagage on a fresh Ubuntu system, I cannot login anymore. Computers are booting, no graphical desktop manager comes up, only console with login promt. And after login, no shell comes up. And this happens one month after a new LTS release. I am not amused and testing and thinking now about a change to Fedora Linux. I have the feeling that Ubuntu developers focuses only to single computer installations, disregards networking abilities and has a lot of problems with upstart, that I still not really understand. :< Alex
