--- Begin Message ---Package: nis Version: 3.17-14 Severity: minor In nis.debian.howto.gz it says: <quote> 1. HOW TO SETUP A LOCAL NIS CLIENT 1.1 Install the netbase, portmap and nis packages 1.2 The installation procedure will ask for your NIS domainname. This is just a name which describes the group of systems that use NIS, it is not a hostname. ... </quote> Saying "just a name" isn't very helpful. It's necessary to tell me how I can find out the right name to give ! It seems the name I have to give is in fact the response nisdomainname gives me on the machine I'll be using as server (1.3). 1.2 should say that. I followed the instructions (on a clean shiny new minimally configured virtual server our sysadmins had prepared for me), but /etc/init.d/nis restart failed and backgrounded. I decided to check I'd got the right host IP address, so fed it to the host command, but it wasn't installed. So I installed the bind9-host package. Now host confirmed I had the right address. Hunch suggested bind (which had just been pulled in) might actually be some help; so I tried another restart of nis and this time it worked. I conclude that nis needs bind (or something else pulled in by bind9-host); 1.1 should mention this (and ideally the nis package should actually Depend on it). -- Package-specific info: nm-tool is not installed -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages nis depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-3 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.3-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libslp1 1.2.1-7.3 OpenSLP libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-11 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii make 3.81-4 The GNU version of the "make" util ii netbase 4.32 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii portmap 6.0-5 RPC port mapper nis recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded
