Bug Description
During the post-reboot part of the Ubuntu install (is this is the
"base-installer"?) I'm requested to type in a username / password.
As I'm on a NIS network, I'd like this local user to match my NIS uid and gid.
For this to work NIS needs to be configured before the user is created.
Setting up NIS afterwards wasn't too complicated, but I did have to change my
local uid and gid to match the NIS settings.

This bug is 1,5 year old, so i'm curious. Have you tryed an install another system after this one?
Maby Colin Watson knows if something has happend with this, or is going to happend.
The reason why I ask is, that i'm trying to get rid of some bugs, and either you or the Assigned person has responded with any comments.
