This is what I use (and it works) in my rc.local :
-------------------------------
....
# Kerberos runs ONLY on the Kerberos server machine
if [ X${kerberos_server} = X"YES" ]; then
echo -n ' kerberos'; kerberos >> /var/log/kerberos.log &
fi
# For loading fonts/keyboard example look in /usr/share/examples/syscons
# directory
domainname `cat /etc/defaultdomain`
ypserver='the servers IP address' # the_server_name
domain=`domainname`
if [ "$domain" -a -d /var/yp ]; then
echo "NIS domain is $domain."
echo -n 'starting NIS service:'
ypbind; echo -n ' ypbind'
fi
-----------------------------------------
Recapitulating:
1) create and empty /var/yp directory, and the file /etc/defaultdomain
2) uncomment the line with 'nis' in /etc/host.conf
3) assign your ypserver IP addres (rc.local)
4) execute ypbind (rc.local)
Ah!, do name_server=YES in /etc/netstart
