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.
