I just wanted to comment that I find it troubling that this bug is closed and has low urgency. I am not a developer, just a user.
My company runs a small computer lab for our clients, it is used by 150+ users. It uses NIS for it's logins and NFS for the user's home directories. Any time that a user restarts or shuts down a computer, I have to log into the one local account and run a "sudo restart ypbind" (which I learned from this thread, thank you) and log out...as you can guess users restart or shutdown frequently, completely disabling the computer. Prior to upgrading to 12.04, this lab ran flawlessly and took almost none of my attention, now it takes up a solid hour of every work day.
Please reconsider this bug as a higher priority. How many schools, libraries, and companies like mine are being affected?
