Without it ypbind can start first on a server failing to find the ypserver 
because it has not started.

I am not really the one to fix this, as I know next to nothing about
ypbind and ypserver.  If you are sure, or if Agriffis could have a look ...

Hi,

First a clarification.  ypbind certainly does not depend on ypserv.  Rather
ypbind should be configured to contact the server on the network.  Sorry if
you are already familiar with these concepts, but your bug report doesn't 
give many details.  :-)

Check out http://www.linux-nis.org/nis-howto/HOWTO/x227.html for some more
information.

On the other hand, if your workstation is the NIS server for the network,
then you're right that ypserv should be started prior to ypbind.  I'll go
ahead and make the necessary changes, then I'll update this bug report.

Hi

Yes, sorry, I meant that when the host *is* the ypserver (otherwise, why run 
ypserv?) I do not know if there is an easy way to do this cause if you don't 
the order is wrong 'ypb' before 'yps'.

Okay, I've fixed this in ypbind-1.11 (note this is also a new version).  Let me
know if it's still wrong...

Thanks,
Aron
