Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2-7
Severity: normal
The delay of one second between stop/start is too short for nis.
On my system, it often takes between one and two seconds to shutdown
nis.
This causes nis to be stopped but not started after a libc6 upgrade.
The solution is either to increase the delay to at least two seconds,
or use a better method to determine when the stop has completed.

I agree with Thomas, those init scripts are buggy. Also the
functionality is already present in start-stop-daemon with the --retry
option. The fact that --stop does not wait is explained clearly in
the man pages, and I don't think it's s-s-d's fault if people expect
it to do something it's not supposed to.
Thus closing.
