Thread: NIS stopped working after upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10

nis stopped working after upgrading 11.04 11.10

have small network used run nis on ubuntu 11.04 fine. after upgraded master server 11.10, every client machine (which slave servers) restarted not recognize usernames in nis database. client (also slave servers) machines not restarted work fine.

updated , upgraded master server doesn't help. restarted portmap, seems work. when restart nis, fails bind yp server. takes 10 long attempts , fails in end.

setting nis (3.17-32ubuntu1) ...

rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: rpc: timed out
restarted portmap , still error persists. also, checking ypserv gives error:

$ ypserv_test

thought might rpcbind bug due separate /var partition (bug # 875471) checked version of rpcbind on master server.
