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:
>
> cd /var/yp/your_nis_domain
> echo slave1 > temp; echo slave2 >> temp; ...
> /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 ...
