Package: nis
Version: 3.12-3
Severity: critical
Installing the nis package on my E4500 kills the machine. It seems to
stop the machine creating new processes althought it's difficult for me
to tell as I have limited physical access to the machine.
Doing apt-get install nis produces the following...
gold:/usr/sbin# apt-get install nis
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
nis

Unpacking nis (from .../archives/nis_3.12-3_sparc.deb) ...
Setting up nis (3.12-3) ...
Setting NIS domainname to: beezly.org.uk
Starting NIS services: ypbind
The machine becomes inaccessible after loading ypbind and you cannot
interrupt the terminal, however it IS still possible to ping the
machine. ssh to the machine gets as far as opening a connection, but no
further.
Marked critical as it flattens my machine, every application and makes
it unusable.
Anything you want me to try out, please let me know although it can take
me a while to get back to you... I have to drive over two hills to get
to the machine!
Cheers,
Andrew

all untracked processes would magically be given root capabilities.
