The default start and stop orders for the NIS daemons are wrong. cd /etc/rc.d/init.d grep chkconfig yp* ypbind:# chkconfig: - 13 87 yppasswdd:# chkconfig: - 66 34 ypserv:# chkconfig: - 65 35 ypbind is started before and stopped after ypserv but ypbind depends on ypserv. This makes it difficult to run NIS clients on the same machine as an NIS server (to for example use netgroups). What is the best solution to this problem? I had thought of changing the initscripts to change the start and stop order but I think this might have hidden dependencies with other packages.
