I am currently am currently working on making modifications to the rc
system to allow NIS to not be started if the server is not present.
So far I am just looking at disabling ypbind at start if certain
conditions are meet. The idea it is to run a script that checks if the
servers or server is present and then if it is, ypbind if enabled, if
not it modifies the current variables to stop ypbind from being run
and prints a message about it to stdout.
>From my understanding this is the one that needs disabled if the
system is to operate outside of it's usual network. Allowing it to
fall back to /etc/ for it's information. I've tested it by disabling
it upon startup manually and it worked fine. Is there any other NIS
related scripts I should make changes to, or is this the only one I
should worry about?
If any one have opinions or any input on any of this, I would be
interested to hear it.
