How do I remove NIS
After the HD installation the process ypserv ran, and as there was no need for it, I wanted to remove it, particularly because the logon process extended easily to 2-3 min (without server).
The #kanotix channel gave a fast solution on this.
# apt-get remove --purge nis
and that was all there was to it.
Thanks to slh

# update-rc.d -f nis remove
In order to have the shutdown NIS start again, the following should still be done:
