I can confirm that this has been the case since at least Ubuntu 7.10. In Q#32163, Art Cancro mentions resorting the start order to "fix" the problem. Indeed, the following solved my problem:
sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S18nis /etc/rc2.d/S30nis This is a serious bug for environments using Ubuntu with NIS and NFS. This was working properly in 6.06 and earlier and I can confirm that it breaks during upgrades. Since this fix seems so trivial, I hope that updated packages are released soon. I work in a University setting where this would have been a big show stopper for deployment. I'm relieved that there is such a trivial workaround. -- NIS not starting correctly which causes automount to fail to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/233807 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
