I should perhaps have said that the order is set up like that for a 
reason. I need nis to override files because I want to have "backup" 
accounts with different config that can be used only when NIS and other 
networks services are for some reason unavailable.

Whether that is a good idea is perhaps debatable, but even if I was able 
to change the order, I would really like to know what is going on.
