I am interested in getting this resolved. The way I see it, this is a two-part bug. First of all, NIS should provide a hook script in /etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/ It should handle both NIS domain and NIS server. Secondly, dhclient needs to provide a way to request both the nis-domain and nis-server DHCP options. However, this is not clearcut since it shouldn't be simply enabled by default (such as ntp); there are some security concerns IMO. #686236 possibly is an answer. I'd like to use the DHCP nis-domain and nis-server options on a cluster I admin. I'd be happy to test out scripts or provide any info you may need. ---Alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
