Sorry but I came late to this discussion. If you are still open to experimenting then I have another one for you. In the /etc/network/interfaces file do you have the interface listed? Or is it left to NetworkManager? If it is listed is it listed as allow-hotplug eth0? Yes, listed,

If the hardware isn't completely identical then it is reasonable to have differences in the parallel boot timings. Theoretically, the machines were identical, but I haven't inspected them to make sure. The fact was: timing to suceed binding to NIS server was quite different from one machine to

There was quite a long delay in that message! But what is a year among friends? :-) Thanks for your patience :-) Seems reasonable. I still use the broadcast protocol instead. But what you are doing is supposed to work okay and I can only assume that it does. Tried the broadcast

Squeeze: sometimes, bind times out (backgrounded) at boot time

Dear Srs, I have a bunch of squeeze boxes running with nis and autofs. All are working well, no performance issues. However, at boot time, sporadically, bind times out, and the machine goes up without nis. Since home folders are NFS via autofs, the machine becames useless, and a reboot is
