I just upgraded to 14.04 from 13.10. After the upgrade NIS stopped working. I went in, checked the settings (hosts, yp.conf, nsswitch) - everything seems to be configured correctly. But... I can't find /etc/init.d/nis anymore. When I try to install nis, I see this:
root@crab:~# apt-get install nis
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package nis is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
hostname:i386 hostname
E: Package 'nis' has no installation candidate
Here's the output of apt-cache policy:
