NetworkManage and ypbind

[Stephen Berg (Contractor)]

Having trouble with getting a NIS binding on a new install of F11 preview.

NetworkManager is not configuring the ethernet connection so I've 
disabled it and just use the network service.  This is a workstation, 
doesn't ever move, has no wireless and won't ever have wireless.  I get 
no binding when NIS starts.  I've tried specifying a NIS server and 
tried broadcasting, neither method works.

On a whim I removed the F11 ypbind and rpm installed ypbind from F10 and 
it works just fine. 

Got the source for F11 ypbind, compiled without DBUS/NetworkManager 
support and that one seems to work just fine.  The man page for ypbind 
says that if NetworkManager is not running it will behave as usual and 
assume that network interfaces are up and available.  That doesn't seem 
to be the case.

Any one seen this and possibly found a good solution?
