Yesterday morning I filed a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246322 requesting that the NIS package include a dhclient-exit-hooks.d script to set up NIS based on the nis-domain and nis-servers (and nisplus-domain and nisplus-servers) DHPC options. All the other enterprise Linux distros I'm familiar with (Red Hat and SuSE in particular) include dhclient-scripts which do this automatically already. This is a critical component of deploying Linux in many enterprise environments.
I guess I'm not used to how Ubuntu manages things like this: all the F/OSS projects I'm involved in, if they have a bug tracker, tend to manage requests like this via the bug tracking system to make them easy to remember/find/track/maintain. However, my bug was closed as "Invalid" and the person closing it suggested that I find some appropriate mailing list on lists.ubuntu.com to discuss it. Looking through the lists this seems like the most relevant one. So... what now? :-) -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
