Modify /etc/nsswitch.conf to switch the order of "files nis" to
"nis files" for passwd, shadow, and group, as I've always done.
Reboot. Boom! It hangs at loopback interface shutdown!
I want to thank you for giving all the details of your testing. I would
like to use it as a future example of how to be constructive and helpful to
other people needing help.
Indeed.
So have you looked at nscd any? Does having nscd turned on or off alter
this problem. Also what is in hosts and is the NIS server listed. Thanks
And are you sure it's only passwd/group/shadow you set to "nis files"? Nothing
else,
in particular not hosts or ethers?
Interesting issue ;-)
