I am upgrading my client system from ubuntu 16.04 to ubuntu 18.04




/etc/nsswitch.conf



passwd: compat files nis nisplus



group: compat files nis nisplus



shadow: compat files nis nisplus



gshadow: files



hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname



networks: files



protocols: db files



services: db files



ethers: db files



rpc: db files



netgroup: nis




In ubuntu 18.04




/etc/nsswitch.conf



passwd: compat files nis nisplus systemd



group: compat files nis nisplus systemd



shadow: compat files nis nisplus



gshadow: files



hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname



networks: files



protocols: db files



services: db files



ethers: db files



rpc: db files



netgroup: nis




But now I am unable to connect to server.



I am getting the message:



A start job is running for Hold until boot process finishes up.



Kindly help.

          In my case I run nis ( dont have nisplus) and I check local accounts first then nis.
          I found that compat will do the necessary with nis checking for me( perhaps nisplus as well)ie checks the + entries in /etc/passwd and check local passwd with + and override home directories shells etc.
          If use it in this way, I can log in from command line with both a local and nis account ( with both a local and nfs home). For some reason there is a delay of 25 seconds approximately until the shell prompt is returned. On X it times out and locks screen. So I still have difficulties, but this might point you a bit further down the road or maybe it will work for you. Id be interested if you could post if you get it working fully.
