I see similar behavior in 6.06.1. (dapper) nis starts at S18nis and portmap at S18portmap. If the nis start script completes starts before portmap, none of the other RPC programs seem to be able to register themselves with the portmapper. I fixed this by making portmap start at S17. The portmap manpage says "Portmap must be started before any RPC servers are invoked." I request that the portmap's postinst be changed so that update-rc.d uses something like "start 17 2 3 4 5" or lower.
** Summary changed: - Portmap starts to late + Portmap starts too late -- Portmap starts too late https://launchpad.net/bugs/53179 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
