Finally I fixed it: I replaced the nis-server name entries in yp.conf with its ip-addresses. Now everything works fine, even autofs. The only thing one has to do additionally is, inserting the following line into /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
greeter-show-manual-login=true Otherwise one cannot login as a nis user from login manager lightdm. >From my point of view, this has to be done automatically during installation of nis or ldap client packages. I don't know why I have to give IP adresses instaed of qualified names. Can it be that either dns is starting after nis? or boot time is too quick to wait for dns response?
