Absolutely, I can see the logic behind it. However, that variable does not get cleared on the systems I have tested it under - as I mentioned before, logs say that "-broadcast" is used. Therefore my conclusion is that ypserver entry in (or the whole) /etc/yp.conf is ignored. > Please could you provide precise steps to reproduce this problem on a > freshly installed 12.04.1 system? I'm using a script, which relevant part being: export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive export DEBIAN_PRIORITY=critical HOSTS="/etc/hosts" YPCONF="/etc/yp.conf" YPBIND="/etc/init/ypbind.conf" PASSWDFILE="/etc/passwd" SHADOWFILE="/etc/shadow" GROUPFILE="/etc/group" GSHADOWFILE="/etc/gshadow" printf "\nxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\tnisserver\n" >> $HOSTS printf "\nnis\tnis/domain\tstring\tnis.domain" | debconf-set-selections aptitude -y install nis echo "+::::::" >> $PASSWDFILE echo "+::::::::" >> $SHADOWFILE echo "+:::" >> $GROUPFILE echo "+:::" >> $GSHADOWFILE printf "\nypserver nisserver" >> $YPCONF Then there's a restart. I had to add this line after the last one in order to make it work: sed -i 's:\tBROADCAST=-broadcast:#\tBROADCAST=-broadcast' $YPBIND I don't think I need to add that IP address, NIS domain and YP server entries are all correct as it simply worked before on 10.04. Actually now it doesn't even work there as the problem is the same in both versions. It affected my build on 10.04 as "nis" package got changed^Wbroken during the LTS cycle. Probably I should have filed that bug under 10.04 as what used to work just fine, got broken by a new version of "nis" package.
