[Bug 415676] Re: nis fails to start

[Christian Kujau]

#50430 is titled "NIS has problems starting before the network comes up"
which is not the case here. The machine is up & running, network is
working fine, but "apt-get install nis" is still showing this behaviour:

-------------------------------
Selecting previously deselected package nis.
Unpacking nis (from .../nis_3.17-12ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...
Setting up libslp1 (1.2.1-7.1) ...

Setting up nis (3.17-12ubuntu1) ...
 * Setting NIS domainname to: int.domain.org
 * Starting NIS services
 * binding to YP server...
 * ....
[...]
 * ....
   ...fail!
   ...done.
# netstat -anptu | grep yp
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:760             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      5247/ypbind
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:49725           0.0.0.0:*                           5247/ypbind
udp     9240      0 0.0.0.0:759             0.0.0.0:*                           5247/ypbind
-------------------------------

FWIW, debconf is configured to "low" priority, so it should've asked for
missing values to start properly, e.g. let the installer choose between
a client and/or server installation of NIS. It obviously cannot "bind to
YP server" when no one has been configured yet.


** Changed in: nis (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
