I've the same problem also in 8.10 final. What I did is: - install Kubuntu 8.10 (fresh install) - sudo aptitude install nis - added the +:::.. entries to passwd, group, shadow - sudo invoke-rc.d nis restart (this works fine!) But then... after a reboot, nis does not start, it will hang at:
binding to YP server ... ... ... etc. ... [failure] after a while it times-out, and nis is non-functioning (and I cannot login at all, even though I've setup a password for the root account). Using rescue mode, I was able to login. Then I tried the following - hardcode ypserver in /etc/yp.conf - reboot. This didn't work In one of the launchpad entries, the following was mentioned: make sure hald starts before nis. What I did is move the hald entry in the rc2 directory to make sure it starts before nis. I rebooted, and it works (I can login in kdm and at the text console login prompt using nis useraccounts). But the "binding to YP server" is still slowing down the boot process a lot and ends with a [failure]. Workstations that still use version 6.06 (dapper) do not have this problem I have this nis problem in version 7.10 (I didn't try 7.04 and 6.10) and in 8.04. The workarounds I applied worked but are suboptimal. I'm a bit disappointed it is not functioning in 8.10. -- Can't cope with Network Manager stopping https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105648 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
