[Bug 569757] Re: NIS upstart dependancy broken for lucid

[Maciej Puzio]

On my mail server postfix and dovecot depend on nis. Currently this
particular dependency is handled properly, because all three daemons are
started by means of /etc/rc?.d in the correct order. Please correct me
if I am wrong, but I worry that the solution suggested by Clint Byrum in
#18 might cause nis to race with postfix or, if postfix is converted to
"native upstart", with dovecot. Anyway, the start condition for nis-wait
would have to be extended to list all possible nis dependencies, and
there could be plenty of them, seeing that nis provides very basic
system information such as users, groups, etc. So we would have "start
on starting gdm or starting autofs or starting postfix or starting
dovecot or starting kdeinit4 or starting ...", and so on.
