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.
Thanks.
