What about just enabling NIS in the post section? /usr/sbin/auth with the above options should set up the same as in kickstart. Or use a script that is run on the first boot, after NIS is up and running. The delete the script and what ever called it. a line at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local would probably work to call the script. -Thomas
