NIS during client build

[Dominik Kasprzyk]

You could just do all the chowning operations as a post-install script (i.e. after FAI finishes and reboots, somewhere in run level 2) after NIS is up.  It's a really simple way of getting around the problem that I've used, although not very elegant.

Implementation points:
Have a script in init.d (best if the file is created sing the default scripts) with the last line being rm -f /etc/init.d/scriptname (best added from the end of LAST) which creates a very simple run-once post-installer script.

I also used a hook instsoft.DEFAULT that enables the loopback "ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 up" with no change. What do I need to do to enable NIS services for chown, etc during the build?
