NIS/AMD questions

[Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org>]

I know this is not related to debian, but...

1) If the NIS server is down for a NIS domain, root cannot log on the 
console. This is annoying, accounts which are in /etc/passwd (like 
root) should be always accessible.

2) I have amd which download its maps from a NIS server. If the NIS 
server is down, then amd will complain, but it won't try to reload 
the maps once the NIS server is back up. I've tried to use 
-cache:=none, but it doesn't help.

Thanks for any help.
Phil.
