It's funny. The same problem exists on Mac OS X Tiger: ypbind starts before the system received an IP from DHCP. Now Ubuntu joins the crowd.
I put the following in /etc/network/interfaces: auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp up /etc/init.d/nis restart This seems to help sometimes. -- NIS has problems starting before the network comes up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50430 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
