Bug 28195 – /etc/init.d/ypbind should be started before /etc/init.d/netmount if NIS DNS lookup enabled

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Considering the case in which the name resolution by NIS is carried out, ypbind
should rise ahead of nfs.

I don't think it is a PPC specific bug...
The point is we don't know how a host resolves DNS. If the host
chooses to look up domain name by NIS and we have hostname based
NFS imports like

somehosts:/export/home      /home           nfs     defaults       0 0

it will fail to mount somehosts:/export/home since rcscripts are run by 
alphabeticalorder when no depend() defined and /etc/init.d/netmount 
is invoked after /etc/init.d/ypbind.  It seems rather like configuration 
issue but we'd better have "use ypbind" in depend() section of netmount.

this would need to be modified in the netmount rc-script... this seems like an issue for baselayout.

nfs-util's nfsmount init script has been fixed to include a 'use ypbind' in the depend().  Please reemerge nfs-utils or simply copy the file from /usr/portage/net-fs/nfs-utils/files/nfsmount to /etc/init.d
