The initial comment was that the problem is during %post processing. During %post, the running operating system is the one booted from the kickstart floppy. Not the one configured by the "auth" line above. It is to be assume that NIS is not yet available (unless you've modified bootnet.img). During the kickstart install, you cannot anticipate using NIS.
