[Bug 1036622] Re: Slow NIS performance with programs such as 'finger'

[Evren Yurtesen]

Well, it is not like I use NIS at home all by myself :p if Ubuntu wont
support it, just remove it from distribution then. So it would make the
decision of which distro to use in large organisations easier.

I checked the packets using tcpdump limited to the NIS server.

Ubuntu had 24k lines in the output file
Fedora had 2.4k lines in the output file

Fedora was accessing port 767 and accessed an additional UDP port 770
and sometimes 938 on the server... while Ubuntu was just accessing 767
only so many more times...

I tried disabling iptables on ubuntu altogether and still the results
are same. It is just that I am getting the correct info as well and
finger seems to be working. I am not sure what  might be timing out.
