> I seem to have this very odd issue with CentOS 6 WRT NIS.  I have taken the package selection that I used with CentOS 5 and basically plopped it into my C6 kickstart file (see below).  On C5 this works just fine and I'm able to log in with NIS credentials just fine.  However, it looks like on C6 if you use a package selection like this, you also need to specify the yp-tools package as part of the kickstart *even though* you specify an authentication method of NIS in the kickstart.  Seems like a bug to me?!?
since you mention nis, i'll guess you use automount as well.  so be
warned that centos 6 has some issues with automount.  if automount
requests are made rapidly (like on a mail server delivery to a large
alias), it will quickly start failing to mount directories and get stuck
that way for minutes.  i don't have access to r*dh*t box to determine if
this has been fixed with all the 6.1 updates.  needless to say i can't
roll out centos 6 yet.

i have filed a centos bug (4984), but since i can't compare against
upstream, i don't know for sure where the problem lies.
