Public bug reported:
Ypbind service does not start after system bootup.
The systemctl command reports that the nis is running, but there is no ypbind
process on the system.
When I switch the ypbind to debug mode, I get following logs:
Jan 23 09:21:15 gklab-81-069 nis[743]: 796: parsing config file

Jan 23 09:21:15 gklab-81-069 nis[743]: 796: Unable to register (YPBINDPROG,

The system logs show that the nis tries to start before the rpcbind is
initialized:
Jan 23 09:09:21 gklab-81-069 systemd[1]: Listening on RPCbind Server Activation
Socket.

Adding the dependency to the nis systemd unit config solves the problem:
