Help with NIS on ubuntu 22.04

[Michael Fitoussi]

Hi Steve
Issue solved:
rather than using :
RUN /etc/init.d/nis restart
I use now:
RUN /etc/init.d/rpcbind restart \
  && /etc/init.d/ypbind restart \
  && /etc/init.d/yppasswdd restart

BTW, I had to remove YPBINDARGS=-no-dbus as stated in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nis/+bug/1925229

I'm sorry, but this is not a user support forum.  You should probably refer to /usr/share/doc/nis/NEWS.Debian.gz in the 22.04 version of the nis package which explains what changes the Debian maintainer has made and how users are expected to configure/use the packages in the new version.  Failing that, you can try asking on https://askubuntu.com.  However, these packages are pass-through from Debian, not anything that is actively maintained by the Ubuntu community, so your mileage may vary as far as support is concerned.
