I used to run the installer on execd nodes, but now I don't bother. The
installer (6.2U4) insists that the hostname of the local machine must be in
/etc/hosts, but I have found that this is not necessary as long as forward
and reverse DNS are correct for the host.

I now have a script that creates the local spool directory, copes the init
script, runs chkconfig on it to ensure it starts on boot-up and then adds
"nis" to the "services" line in /etc/nsswitch.conf. As far as I can tell,
this is all that is needed for an execd host.
