I wanted to add "cron" to the list of things that have a race condition with NIS on startup, as I don't think cron has been mentioned in any of the other postings on this issue. If a NIS user has installed a crontab on a NIS client, and NIS has not started by the time cron starts, the result is that user's crontab will be ignored (the condition is logged in the system logs). The user then has to manually resubmit the crontab before cron will reconsider it.
