Comment 28 for bug 50430

I too can confirm the problem. nis starts before network is fully up and times out. It would be great if this bug is fixed and the functionality works out of the box without having to remove network manager.

I also have a problem with automounter not mounting my home directory. I had to create my own /etc/auto.home (This happens only with 8.04 and with previous versions the automounter used to work fine)
