Package: release-notes Severity: normal Please add some package specific information for NIS to the release notes documenting problems caused by interaction between the Network Manager support and an unused Network Manager instance. Something along these lines, though perhaps someone less involved with the package could come up with more user friendly wording:
The version of ypbind included in the NIS package in etch contains support for Network Manager. This support causes ypbind to disable NIS client functionality when Network Manager reports that the computer is disconnected from the network. Since Network Manager will usually report that the computer is disconnected when it is not in use NIS users with NIS client systems should ensure that Network Manager support is disabled on those systems. This can be done by either: - Uninstalling the network-manager package. - Editing /etc/default/nis to add -no-dbus to YPBINDARGS. [ONLY IF THE RELEASE TEAM ACCEPT 3.17-6:] The use of -no-dbus is the default for new installs of Debian but was not the default in previous releases.
