Public bug reported: Ubuntu 13.10
Here is my situation: My work laptop uses a NIS configuration. While directly connected directly to the work network, NIS is able to bind to the server without issue (unless of course the server is down...). However, while away from work, I cannot directly connect to NIS. My laptop takes forever to boot up (if I switch to tty2 I can stop the autofs and ypbind service). ypbind will only work when I attach my laptop to the VPN making those NIS servers accessible. Problem: After some googling, I tried setting YPBIND_MAXWAIT in /etc/environment but this did not appear to take effect. Commands still continue to hang. ** Affects: nis (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1282820 Title: YPBIND_MAXWAIT not respected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nis/+bug/1282820/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
