We no longer build nis with NetworkManager/D-Bus support, so setting this option made ypbind fail to start. (Closes: #906436) So setting "YPBINDARGS=" in /etc/default/nis should be your first step to get nis working in buster ;-) Elimar -- Alles, was viel bedacht wird, wird bedenklich!;-) Friedrich Nietzsche signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Bug#926305: closed by Elimar Riesebieter (Re: Bug#926305: nis startup scripts are completely broken)
Please reopen. Advice is no replacement for a Depends in the package control file. As shipped the package is still broken and at the reported severity - breaking most of the system A.

That is not an advice. If nscd is a required dependency, NIS should bring it in. Presently it is not. Still broken A.

From there on the system is unusable - you cannot log in, UIDs and groups do not resolve, etc. The same system operated correctly before buster upgrade and will operate correctly if ypbind is invoked from the command line. This looks like a pure systemd conversion issue of some sort. At my systems installing nscd helped. As well setting "YPBINDARGS=" in /etc/default/nis must be. This bug should be closed as there is no response from the reporter. As well it seems to be fixed following the advices given above, though. Elimar -- Anton R. Ivanov https://www.kot-begemot.co.uk/

Bug#926305: nis startup scripts are completely broken
Hello everyone, Greetings from the Gothenburg BSP. If someone is interested in modernizing the nis package it seems like ArchLinux has native systemd units for nis and related services so I'd suggest importing those: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nis-utils/ https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/rpcbind/ See also https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NIS Regards, Andreas Henriksson
