Bug#926305: nis startup scripts are completely broken
Package: nis
Version: 3.17.1-3+b1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Dear Maintainer,
Startup scripts are completely broken. Something in the systemd conversion/autogeneration.
The ypbind binary is never started, the script goes into "backgrounded" and fails. From there
on the system is unusable - you cannot log in, UIDs and groups do not resolve, etc.
The same system operated correctly before buster upgrade and will operate correctly if
ypbind is invoked from the command line.
This looks like a pure systemd conversion issue of some sort.
