Why not just modify S24nis.sh to set $YPDOMAIN="" if NONIS is defined?
Maybe something like this would work: ifclass NONIS && YPDOMAIN="" Then you could set NONIS in the S01alias.sh (or any other script S02 - S23) and prevent NIS from being configured. -- Austin PS. thanks Thomas for explaining how bootp/dhcp sets $YPDOMAIN.
