Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start installation 2. configure NIS 3. select safest firewall-configuration Actual Results: NIS can not bind to a server, while when the firewall is down (/etc/init.d/iptables stop) it can bind to the server Expected Results: NIS can bind to a server Additional info: maybe it's as designed, but then tell something about it in the help-files during install
I've been successful at this before. Make sure that you specify an NIS server (don't use broadcast) and try accepting "--state ESTABLISHED" packets. closing as NOTABUG.
