+ <p>
+ The version of ypbind included in the NIS package in etch contains
+ support for Network Manager. This support causes ypbind to disable NIS
+ client functionality when Network Manager reports that the computer is
+ disconnected from the network. Since Network Manager will usually
+ report that the computer is disconnected when it is not in use NIS
+ users with NIS client systems should ensure that Network Manager
+ support is disabled on those systems. This can be done by either:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Uninstalling the network-manager package.</li>
+ <li>Editing /etc/default/nis to add -no-dbus to YPBINDARGS.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ The use of -no-dbus is the default for new installs of Debian, but
+ was not the default in previous releases.
