Hm - perhaps it was as part of the first boot, post-anaconda. Basically, it was when I was asked to create a user account. I selected "use network login" (paraphrasing) instead of creating a local account.<br><br>

</div>How have you set up a NIS server as part of the install? It's not part<br>
of the anaconda configuration screens.<br>

</div>For many use cases in Fedora, it's not needed; we're trying to keep the<br>
core/base groups reasonably small.<br>
<br>
If you use kickstart, you can both set up NIS and install autofs with<br>
directives in your kickstart file.<br>
