Description Karl Eichwalder 2010-05-25 14:14:50 UTC 
I just installed M7 on a laptop from the Net (SLP/DHCP) and I ended up with the traditional networking method.  I disabled firewall.  Then I enabled NIS and automounter and it worked as usual.

Then I switched to NetworkManager using yast.  NIS (and automounter) no longer works. NetworkManager rewrote resolve.conf and it looks fine, IMO (I'm supressing the actual addresses):

# Generated by NetworkManager
domain suse.de
search suse.de nue.novell.com
nameserver xxx
nameserver yyy

resolv.conf has nothing to do with NIS.

Using NIS with NetworkManager is and never was a valid usecase.

What does "no longer works" mean? Any error messages, anything in the log files, ...?
Comment 2 Karl Eichwalder 2010-06-02 08:24:25 UTC 
If NM does not work in a NIS environment, yast must at least warn, if the user on a NIS client machine tries to switch from "Traditional Method with ifup" to "User Controlled with NetworkManager" and we must add some such warning to our docs.

The nis was not in Factory now, I'll submit it later.
Comment 4 Bin Li 2010-06-02 08:52:47 UTC 
I mean the patch for NIS in NetworkManager.
Comment 5 Bin Li 2010-06-09 11:27:04 UTC 
I've commit the NIS support in NM.
