Hi Andre,

While you are in yast, go to System and select runlevel editor, select
the runlevel properties and see if the portmapp daemon is actually
running. If it isn't tell it to run in run levels 3 and 5 if you then
manually start the service from the same screen YAST will report the
output of the service starting. If there are no errors then try to setup
your NIS server again after selecting finish from the runlevel editor
screen.
