Hi,
here is a walkthrough to set up a NIS server under Ubuntu Hardy, because the standard configuration is only for clients.
apt-get install nis
NIS domain: be creative 
Then wait till the ypbind search is over (it tries very hard to find a server…) otherwise the package is not completely installed.
In the mean time, you can prepare the server.
/etc/yp.conf
ypserver 127.0.0.1
/etc/default/nis
NISSERVER = master
NISCLIENT = false
/etc/ypserv.securenets
# This line gives access to everybody. PLEASE ADJUST! Adjusted! 
255.255.255.0 192.168.1.0
When the installation is complete, you can proceed with the following steps:
/usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m
/etc/init.d/nis restart
Congratulations, your NIS server is now running!
Bye,
Sven
Hi,
today I tried to do some online banking at www.sparkasse-zwickau.de. To my suprise, I took a very long time till the welcome page was loaded.
I checked this again with another browser: same problem. Than I tried a host outside the university… wow, it goes very fast. Hmm, and another host inside? Also fast. So I’d check the installed windows and it also worked perfectly.
I googled a bit and found that the problem is my network interface which is handled by the e1000 driver.

Hi there,
long time ago I wrote an article how to make the DCP-110C running under Ubuntu Feisty. One commenter wrote me, that he got it also to run with Gutsy and Hardy.
Now the time has come and some things are easier

Hi,
today I upgraded my server from Feisty to Gutsy and than again from Gutsy to Hardy.
Problems? Only one. dmesg was spamed with the following:
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
device-mapper: table: 254:1: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed
The bug is known in launchpad: Launchpad-Link
To solve this, simply remove evms: sudo apt-get remove evms
Bye
Sven
