Answering to myself, for what it's worth, my good enough workaround: NISDOMAIN="MyNISDomain" echo "nis nis/domain string $NISDOMAIN" | debconf-set-selections echo '[ "$1" = "nis" ] && exit 101 || exit 0' > /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d; chmod +x /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y nis rm /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d nisdomainname $NISDOMAIN sed -i -e "s/^\(NISSERVER=\).*/\1true/" /etc/default/nis /usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m < /dev/null 2> /dev/null service nis restart Pierre
