Description Juergen Weigert 2008-05-15 12:46:52 UTC 
default installation comes up with enabled firewall.
I selected local passwd during installation.
later I logged in and used yast to configure nis client.
(*) use NIS,
(*) automatic setup (via DHCP)
[x] start automounter.

Nis had no chance to work, as the firewall is active, and the expert settings
default to not open ports.
Please either
- change the default to open ports, as soon as (*)use nis is selected
  'use nis' should be renamed to 'use nis and open firewall port' then...
- or make [ ] open port in firewall appear outside the expert settings menue.

It is not good that only experts can effectivly 'use nis', although the beginners dialog suggests otherwise.

Please test if YaST module from
http://w3.suse.de/~jsuchome/yast2-nis-client/bug390749/

fits your needs.
