[Bug 999725] Re: broken start-up dependencies for ntp

[Paul Crawford]

Yes, you are right in that our NIS servers are solaris boxes, and they
do support behind-the-scenes DNS lookups as it turns out. It is also
true that NIS is depreciated, though a lot of older installations like
ours still use it, and for most machines DNS is available and will
probably fix our specific issue.

But...that is still not an excuse for daemons (like ntp) that might
depend on the directory service (NIS, LDAP, ActiveDirectory, etc) being
started without a sensibly configured sequence/dependency!
