Great! That worked just fine.

If I try to start it by hand I have the same problem. It just hangs in
there. Follows the output from a "sh -x nis start":

mycomputer:/etc/init.d# sh -x nis start
+ NISSERVER=false
+ NET=/usr/sbin
+ test -f /usr/sbin/ypbind -a -f /etc/defaultdomain
+ start
++ cat /etc/defaultdomain
+ domainname mydomain.com
++ domainname
+ echo 'Setting NIS domainname to: mydomain.com'
Setting NIS domainname to: mydomain.com
+ echo -n 'Starting NIS services: '
Starting NIS services: + '['false '!='false ']'
+ '['false = master ']'
+ egrep -q '^(ypserver|domain)'/etc/yp.conf
+ broadcast=-broadcast
+ echo -n 'ypbind '
ypbind + start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/ypbind -- -broadcast

It just hangs there.

Thanks a lot,

PS: Any clue why my "bug" program does not work?
