If you have lot's of system, you'll probably want to use
NIS (yp) maps. Then you have one place to make updates
for all the systems. I use a mix, since some of the Sun formats
aren't supported (yet?)

The RedHat initscript automaticall checks for auto.master
in the NIS tables, so you don't even need files
in /etc for the other systems.

It was. It installed fine on my system.
How did you do the install?
Did it install anything from CD2?
