I think it does, but I *want* "nis files". See my reply to the other reply ;-)
First, you should try if "files nis" fixes the problem.
OK, I was being lazy, and right now I don't have access to any of the machines in question, but I think we've tried it in the past and found that removes the delay - but like I said, it doesn't really solve the problem because we want nis first.
You could have two nsswitch files.
Modify the startup scripts so that "files nis" are used first during boot, and modify /etc/init.d/ypbind so that nsswitch.conf is overwritten with a "nis files" version after NIS has been started.
But this is a hack. I would always have "files nis".
Yes that would be a hack, but not because "files nis" is always right; actually "nis files" or any other combination should just work, and what's right depends on the user account policy and layout of the system. That's why this is configurable, isn't it?
