Description Miroslav Flidr 2004-10-21 04:45:35 UTC

After upgrading to =sys-apps/baselayout-1.9.4-r5 from =sys-apps/baselayout-1.9.4-r3 the ypbind service doesn't start. The problem is only with starting the service through the init script. The service function OK when started using command 

start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/ypbind

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =sys-apps/baselayout-1.9.4-r5 
2. /etc/init.d/ypbind restart

Actual Results:  
* Setting NIS domainname to nisdomain...                                [ ok ]
* ERROR:  Problem starting needed services.
*         "ypbind" was not started.

Comment 1 Miroslav Flidr 2004-10-22 04:14:58 UTC

I discovered that the problem is caused by nonexistant and/or empty file /etc/dnsdomainname checked by init script domainame. It just got relevant for the newer release of the baselayout package. Adding appropriate entry into the file fixed the problem.
