Package: rpcbind Version: 0.2.1-6+deb8u1 Followup-For: Bug #818186 Dear Maintainer,
The freeze when defining nisdomainname was related to queries from the network. After I denied this connection rpcbind did not hang any more and I was able to start nis. (However, I had to change 'portmap' to 'rpcbind' in hosts.allow and I had to add also a line rpcbind: 127.0.0.1 to this file. Else "Unable to register (YPBINDPROG, YPBINDVERS, udp)." lines appears in syslog, or "Client credential is too weak" error message is reported when trying to run "ypserv -d" from commandline.) I have not tried to reboot the system yet, though I am not sure how this issue could be overcome during the boot process. sz.zs -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=hu_HU, LC_CTYPE=hu_HU (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages rpcbind depends on: ii initscripts 2.88dsf-59 ii insserv 1.14.0-5 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u4 ii libtirpc1 0.2.5-1 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-25 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 rpcbind recommends no packages. rpcbind suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
