The only answer came from Ian Mortimer <ian_at_physics.uq.edu.au> :
> As you say this is only a warning and you can ignore it.
> However if you want to create a ypslaves map do this:

> /var/yp/makedbm temp ypslaves.`hostname`
> rm temp
After having created this map, the messages disappeared.
But I still don't know why the map isn't created by nissetup ...
