Wasn't it included in the : 1.1.2 update whether you had NFS installed or not? Well, as a certain car rental company's ad campaign says, "Not exactly." NIS is included, but RPC is not. So NIS won't work. I'm pretty sure this is just a packaging mistake, but it ranks up there with being unable to use syslog because syslog uses m4 to parse its configuration file, and m4 wasn't included because it's only for programmers.
