Package: nis
Version: 3.17.1-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I use a NetBSD NIS server for a long time. This servers acts as a NIS server
(master) and some workstations use it (Linux, FreeBSD...).
I have noticed this evening that my Debian Buster was unable to use this server
anymore.
When I start nis, I obtain in log :
Aug 17 17:20:08 hilbert systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Start NIS client and server daemons....
Aug 17 17:20:20 hilbert nis[3775]: Starting NIS services: ypbindbinding to YP server...........................................failed (backgrounded).
Aug 17 17:20:20 hilbert nis[3775]: .
I think that /etc/init.d/nis script tries to use ypwhich before starting
ypbind. Thus, ypwhich returns :
root@hilbert:~# LANG=C ypwhich
ypwhich: Can't communicate with ypbind
If I manually start ypbind with ypbind -d -broadcast, I obtain :
root@hilbert:~# ypbind -d -broadcast
4388: add_server() domain: systella.fr, broadcast
4388: [Welcome to ypbind-mt, version 1.38]
4388: ping interval is 20 seconds
4388: rebind interval is 900 seconds
4390: do_broadcast() for domain 'systella.fr' is called
4390: Answer for domain 'systella.fr' from server 'legendre.systella.fr'
4390: leave do_broadcast() for domain 'systella.fr'
4388: ypbindproc_domain_2_svc (systella.fr)
4388: Pinging all active servers.
4388: YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: server '192.168.10.128', port 754
4388: Status: YPBIND_SUCC_VAL
4390: Pinging all active servers.
4390: Pinging all active servers.
and ypwhich runs as expected :
hilbert:[~] > LANG=C ypwhich
legendre.systella.fr
hilbert:[~] >
Best regards,
JB

Description:
nis - clients and daemons for the Network Information Service (NIS)
Closes: 701483 701484 701696 906436
Changes:
nis (3.17.1-3) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* QA upload.
* Drop -no-dbus from YPBINDARGS= in /etc/default/nis.
We no longer build nis with NetworkManager/D-Bus support, so setting
this option made ypbind fail to start. (Closes: #906436)
* Remove debian/nis.debhelper.log on clean.
* Drop nm-tool invocation from reportbug script. This binary no longer
exists in recent versions of NetworkManager and since NetworkManager
support is no longer enabled, this information is no longer really
relevant anyway.
* Use /bin/bash to run the reportbug script as it makes use of "yesno".
(Closes: #701484)
* Remove obsolete shlibs.local. (Closes: #701696)
* Fix typo "ypppasswdd" in init script. (Closes: #701483)
* Drop outdated and no longer accessible Vcs-Bzr URL.
