I too have been plagued with the dreaded ypbind. I found in Kpackage that this “program? is a part of the NIS package.Originally Posted by UnderScore
Question – If I “un-install? the NIS package, will the ypbind problem go away?
Also – by un-installing NIS, what other functions will quit working?
I have a small (four computer) family NET using P2P either net communications. Will this be adversely affected? Will I lose my DHL connectivity if i un-install the NIS package?
Thanks in advance

You may remove NIS/ypbindwithout any problems & will not negatively impact your systems. Typically NIS is used to create a network of computers whereby you can log into and PC and get the same settings/files/desktop from any computer. This would be the same as a roaming profile in the Windows domain.

I just ran into this problem on my 3.7 KNOPPIX hdinstalled box. I did an apt-get update and upgrade and now this ypbind is taking all day to set up a yp server. I went into /etc/rc.d but found no file related to yp services to delete....
Please help!
TIA,
AJG
If you don't mind the ypbind running, and might have a yp server
at some times, as I do, I suggest you just comment out "bind_wait"
in /etc/init.d/nis.

I just did
update-rc.d ypbind remove
