Hi Paul. I was able to work around this - and the key is your comment: "It worked on Ubuntu, too, until network manager came along."
I uninstalled NM (apt-get remove). Then manually configured my eth0 for DHCP and it works like a champ. I did add that "-no-dbus" to the YPBINDARGS in /etc/defaults/nis, but I'm not sure if its necessary or not. I didn't want to put much more time into this. Next time I reboot.... This box is in a rack and isn't going anywhere, so I guess NM didn't offer me much anyway. It is not as if I can't configure an interface via the GUI or command line. If this setup (autofs over NIS for mouting home dirs) is legacy env, I wonder what the current/next-gen env is? I'd be interested in trying that out as I'm not necessarily bound to the autofs/NIS env. Of course if there really isn't an alternative for mounting a home dir then I guess ubuntu will have to do something at some point? Right? :-O -- Autofs fails to start with maps from NIS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213574 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
